About The Book
Fast-paced and dramatic re-telling of the financial crisis that nearly bought
the developed world to its knees. Hank Paulson was without doubt at the absolute
epicentre of the recent economic storm, and his account of how he dealt with the
greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression will make for absolutely
fascinating reading. The book contains all the decisive moments in the economic
crisis, including the pivotal meetings with mortgage giants Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, as well as Paulson's personal recollections of and conversations
with President Bush, President Obama, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and
current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. As well as detailing the major
decisions taken during the height of the crisis, Paulson will also put forth the
policies he believes need to be implemented to take us securely into the future.
