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 never disclosed 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.

读后感

自手机装上audible，伟大首都的交通状况神奇地好转了很多。两月奔波，收获之一是听完了《TOO BIG TO FAIL》和《ON THE BRINK》。关于金融危机成因后果的作品早已晒满山坡，但若想获得悦读体验，这两本是最劲推荐。 《TOO BIG TO FAIL》书未出时已有重量级书评出埠，力捧声此起...  

2008年3月，始于房地产泡沫开始破灭，涉足subprime mortgage bond market过深的华尔街各大投行及金融机构告急。华尔街第五大投行Bear Sterns相较其他四家投行资产规模最小，应对危机能力最弱，最先出现liquidity危机。市场一时惊慌失措，fed reserve，DOF初次应对危机高度紧张...  

这两年“大而不倒”的概念炒得挺火。前几天听说这本书是高盛和金融时报评出来的年度六本商业图书之一，另外五本的中文版应该还没出了吧，而且看到这本是小说应该不枯燥，就卖了来看。 昨天收到的，第一感觉是真厚，确实“大”。封面和整体设计挺漂亮的，很有设计感。不过这个封...  

Too big to fail, but it also too long to read.断断续续读了快一个月，终于读完了。感受如下： 1、书中出现的人名时间太多了，我到后面几乎是忽略人名，而仅关注起所在公司。 2、多人合译的痕迹还是比较明显，前后有些固定词汇翻译修订时可以更好统一。举个例子：General Cou...  

如果早有人告诉我这本书和《冰与火之歌》很像，而且更精彩，我可能早就看了。所以别人不说我说一下吧。为什么像？有以下几点原因。 首先，写作手法都是基于POV的。这在冰火里当然很明显，在《大而不倒》则比较隐晦。总体上《大而不倒》的内容是按时序编排，同一时段不同场所发...

好看！

太精彩了！

挖出这么多细节真的好惊人

我一直认为，这本书其实背后讲的是：苏利文拯救地球。

通过对不同人物的细致描写和交叉剪辑一样的情节推进方式，把金融危机写得像一场战争般险象环生高潮迭起，怪不得拿去拍电影感觉剧本台词都不用改。标题的本意其实很无奈，这些巨头太过庞大联系甚广，让它们倒下的代价过于沉重，“大而不倒”这个翻译无法完全表达这个含义。全书后记我非常喜欢，它如同一盆冰水兜头浇下，让人看到之前松了口气的结尾之后一切并未好转。这不仅仅是华尔街高管的事，所有人都在这汹涌的浪潮之中，无法逃离，只是有人能呼风唤雨，有人能迎浪搏击，更多人只能随波逐流。
