A New York Times bestseller

“The first big book on the credit crunch saw the crisis coming three years ago…[Morris’s] provocative book is…a well-aimed opening shot in a debate that will only grow louder in coming months.”--Economist

“An absolutely excellent narrative of the horror that we have in the credit markets right now. … It's a wonderful explanation of how it happened and why it's so rotten, and why it will take a long time to unwind."--Paul Steiger, Editor in Chief of ProPublica
