Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive account of the 2008 economic crisis, from the award-winning financial columnist and founder of DealBook, with unparalleled behind-the-scenes access to the key players on Wall Street and in Washington.

Too Big to Fail is too good to put down. . . . It is the story of the actors in the most extraordinary financial spectacle in over 80 years, and it is told brilliantly.” —The Economist

NOW AN HBO FILM

One of the most gripping financial stories in decades, Too Big to Fail delivers a blow-by-blow account of the epochal economic crisis that brought the world to the brink. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Andrew Ross Sorkin re-creates all the drama and turmoil of those turbulent days, revealing never-before-disclosed details and recounting how—motivated as often by ego and greed as by fear and self-preservation—the most powerful men and women in finance and politics decided the fate of the world's economy.

This edition has been updated with a new afterword reflecting on the tenth anniversary of the crisis.
