Financial Shock: A 360° Look at the Subprime Mortgage Implosion, and How to Avoid the Next Financial Crisis

Insightful dissection of subprime mortgage crisis.

"Financial Shock" is quite the eye-opener, especially if you've been puzzling over how a bunch of bad mortgages snowballed into a global financial meltdown. Mark Zandi not only paints a clear picture of the factors and players involved, but also offers a narrative that's both accessible for the layperson and rich in detail for those with a keener interest in financial matters. Reading this, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of financial systems and perhaps a better grasp of how to spot the warning signs in the future.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
