Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed,… af Gretchen Morgenson

This is a quality account of how the 2008 market collapse occurred and demonstrates, without question, that our government is unable to protect it's people. There are multiple instances laid out in the book where well intentioned politicians tried to enact legislation to protect the population from sub-prime predators, only to be carefully eviscerated by lobbyists and the people who know people in higher places. It's truly amazing to see how economic bubbles continue to rise and be defended by our most powerful politicians (who know nothing of economics) with a standard belief that "this time, it's different."

I came to this book from an article in the Wall Street Journal. If you plan to read this, you should also purchase a copy of The Wall Street Money Machine as that presents additional information on this topic.

Reckless endangerment : how outsized ambition,… af Gretchen Morgenson

A very readable account of the lead up to the housing bubble and 2007 mortgage melt down that led to the 2008 collapse of the financial markets. The sad thing is that so many of the individuals involved/responsible for the fiasco are still in positions of power. One of the few books about the crisis that goes back to its origins and names names.
