About this product
Product Information
Andrew Ross Sorkin's website Andrew Ross Sorkin's interview on Charlie Rose Watch a Video Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers the first true behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression developed into a global tsunami. From inside the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea, and the corridors of Washington, Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world's economy. "We've got to get some foam down on the runway " a sleepless Timothy Geithner, the then-president of the Federal Reserve of New York, would tell Henry M. Paulson, the Treasury secretary, about the catastrophic crash the world's financial system would experience. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Too Big to Fail re-creates all the drama and turmoil, revealing neverdisclosed details and elucidating how decisions made on Wall Street over the past decade sowed the seeds of the debacle. This true story is not just a look at banks that were "too big to fail," it is a real-life thriller with a cast of bold-faced names who themselves thought they were too big to fail.

Item came in condition described and arrived as quickly as USPS could deliver it. Wish there were more photos of the item, as I hadn't realized it was in such a used condition. Not a bother though. Overall very good seller.

I absolutely hate leaving negative reviews, but could not let this pass without a mention. Disappointingly, the condition of the book I received was not near the listed condition. (Spine was broken, even though it was “excellent”). I asked the seller about this discrepancy. She replied, calling me a liar, a swindler…was just trying to get a free book. :( I’ve never been accused like this by any seller in 24 years on eBay. See attached images. Totally unacceptable. Stay clear of this seller!

Copied from messages from seller, biffdabookflippa, to me, received on May 15…”you’re a liar you're just looking for a refund I pray for you and may the lord save you god bless”3:55 PM“Wouldn't be surprised if you did that yourself such a shame for how people try to swindle the sellers for free items so sad again prayers to you and yours“
