Too Big to Fail

Reading this fantastic book by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Set in 2007-08, it provides a detailed blow by blow account of how the economic crisis unfolded.

The interesting thing here is that the book focuses more on the human aspect of the story - the hectic parleys, the long hours spent hammering out deals, the negotiations between the companies on the brink of failure as well as what the government was doing/not doing to manage the crisis.

It is an unputdownable thriller and not at all a geeky book. Anyone with the slightest interest in the economy, business, leadership and crisis management will immensely enjoy reading the book.
