How I Caused the Credit Crunch - Thryft

Insider's journey through the banking crisis.

Looking for something eye-opening to read? "How I Caused the Credit Crunch" offers a rare insider's perspective on the financial turmoil that shook the world. Ishikawa invites you into the high-stakes arena of international finance with a personal touch - it's like sitting down with someone who's seen it all. The complex financial concepts come to life through his narrative, making sense of the machinery that led to the collapse. Engaging for finance newbies and aficionados alike, it serves both as a cautionary tale and a fascinating memoir.

Description

"Anticipate brisk sales—this book succeeds as a lesson on the credit mess."—Bloomberg.com Taking in everything from subprime mortgages in the United States to international trading floors, How I Caused the Credit Crunch is a vivid and personal account of twenty-first century banking excess. Tracing seven years at the forefront of the credit markets, it is both a powerful tale of lost innocence and an explanation of how the collective folly, frailty, and greed at the heart of the banking crisis were able to happen. Tetsuya Ishikawa grew up in London and has worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and ABN AMRO.
