Inside story of Too Big To Fail, with Andrew Ross Sorkin
Highlights:
1. Behind the scenes moment by moment account of financial crisis.
2. The story we know becomes a human drama about what many of these people knew in advance, but didn’t tell us.
3. Big, big, big surprise, how close we were to the financial abyss.
4. Remarkable surprises–the incestuous nature of these relationships between 20 or 30 men, how those relationships ended up impacting billion dollar decisions.
5. Dominoes of Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and then General Electric would have fallen, but Paulson, Geithner "E-Harnony," and Bernanke stopped it.
