I saw the film Inside Job and that drove me to buy this book. The fall out of these greedy criminals has affected the whole world and I wanted to know more. It details the shady world of shadow banking and the onslaught of 'financial engineering', engineers are professionals with a code of conduct, these people by no means had an allegiance to any code other than the fast buck. One of the best lines in the book is that "Banking is supposed to be dull, not like spending every night in a casino". The sorry thing is that they were playing in the casino with someone else's money, homes and their livelihoods. No-one knows the true extent of the losses incurred due to the 'shadow banking' practices employed but in the end, we have the distinct pleasure of paying, one way or another, for their greed.
The staggering thing is that none of them are behind bars, even more staggering is that some of the 'engineers' of this global fiasco hold Federal positions of power, protectionsim for the 'old boys network', it makes you think and it makes me sick that they are in a prime position to begin inflating the next bubble.
Read the book, it is a true insight.
