America's most famous business reporter gives her unique perspective on the white-knuckle weekend that brought the financial world to its knees. During a single historic weekend (September 12-14, 2008) the fate of Lehman Brothers was sealed, Merrill Lynch barely survived, and AIG became a ward of the federal government. Top CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo spent the entire weekend taking frantic phone calls from the most powerful players on Wall Street and in Washington, as they toiled to keep the economy from complete collapse. Those CEOs and dozens of other sources gave Bartiromo behind-the-scenes details unavailable to other members of the media, of the crisis and its aftermath. Now she draws on her high-level network to provide an eyewitness account of the biggest events of the financial crisis including at length interviews with former treasury secretary Henry Paulson, former AIG chairman Hank Greenberg, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, and JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, among many others. Writing with both authority and dramatic flair, Bartiromo weaves a thrilling narrative that will make news. She also tackles the big questions: how did an unmatched period of market euphoria and growth turn sour, catapulting the economy into a dangerous slide? And in the long run, how will the near-catastrophe really change Wall Street?

A blistering narrative account of the negligence and greed that pushed all of Wall Street into chaos and the country into a financial crisis. At the beginning of March 2008, the monetary fabric of Bear Stearns, one of the world’s oldest and largest investment banks, began unraveling. After ten days, the bank no longer existed, its assets sold under duress to rival JPMorgan Chase. The effects would be felt nationwide, as the country suddenly found itself in the grip of the worst financial mess since the Great Depression. William Cohan exposes the corporate arrogance, power struggles, and deadly combination of greed and inattention, which led to the collapse of not only Bear Stearns but the very foundations of Wall Street.

The merger of Shearson Loeb Rhoades and American Express in 1981 led the way to a new future in American finance. It made it possible for vast conglomerates to deal with all aspects of the money business : banking, brokerage, and insurance. From the hectic trading floors of lower Manhattan to elegant corporate offices, Tim Carrington traces that pivotal merger, focusing on the careers and motivations of the men who managed to push Wall Street beyond its long-revered traditions : Sandy Lewis, the brillant merger maker and iconoclastic reformer who nrought the companies together ; Sanford Weill, the schrewd, streetwise head of Shearson Loeb Rhoades ; James D. Robinson III, the Southern gentleman who held the reins at the sprawling American Express Company. Filled with inside information and candid vignettes, this book goes beyond the front pages to show how Wall Street really works. [4e de couv.].
