		<description><![CDATA[  In a lot of ways this book review does not belong in my series on the financial crisis of 2008 because well over 350 pages of the 500-page book have nothing to do with the financial crisis itself.  But in one very important sense this book is extremely important to the aftermath [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  When I first added Reckless Endangerment to my list of books to read in my series on the 2008 financial crisis, I saw that Gretchen Morgensen was a New York Times columnist, and assumed this book would be yet another carbon copy of the major myth that permeates discussion of the 2008 financial [...]]]></description>

The book I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not exactly newsworthy that some people blame Goldman Sachs for some pretty silly things.  The initial hit-piece on Goldman Sachs came in a trendy rock n&#8217; roll magazine, of all places.  I have defended Goldman Sachs before, and believe this reply to the aforementioned nonsense in Rolling Stone covers a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Russell Roberts at George Mason University (the finest economic hub in the country) has written a delightful piece on the real causes of the financial crisis.  The observation that greed and stupidity do not help to explain the crisis since greed and stupidity have always been with us (and always will be with us, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first time in my review series on the financial crisis of 2008 that I am doubling up by covering two books in one review.  On the other hand, neither of these books are specifically about the 2008 crisis either, though neither of them would have come out if it were not for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alan Greenberg&#8217;s book, The Rise and Fall of Bear Stearns, may be the most totally avoidable book on the financial crisis that has yet come out, and is certainly the biggest exception to my rule regarding &#8220;only reviewing the credible books&#8221;.  This book is not claiming to add anything to the ideological discussions that surround [...]]]></description>

Just when you thought you couldn&#8217;t stand another 450-page epic about the financial crisis of 2008, not only does another come along that manages to get 450 pages written about it, but it manages to get 450 pages all in just covering one company (well, technically, two): Merrill Lynch, along with its 2008 acquirer, Bank of [...]]]></description>
