Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -One of the biggest questions of the financial crisis has not been answered until now: What happened at Lehman Brothers and why was it allowed to fail, with aftershocks that rocked the global economy In this news-making, often astonishing book, a former Lehman Brothers Vice President gives us the straight answers right from the belly of the beast. In A Colossal Failure of Common Sense, Larry McDonald, a Wall Street insider, reveals, the culture and unspoken rules of the game like no book has ever done. The book is couched in the very human story of Larry McDonald s Horatio Alger-like rise from a Massachusetts gateway to nowhere housing project to the New York headquarters of Lehman Brothers, home of one of the world s toughest trading floors. We get a close-up view of the participants in the Lehman collapse, especially those who saw it coming with a helpless, angry certainty. We meet the Brahmins at the top, whose reckless, pedal-to-the-floor addiction to growth finally demolished the nation s oldest investment bank. The Wall Street we encounter here is a ruthless place, where brilliance, arrogance, ambition, greed, capacity for relentless toil, and other human traits combine in a potent mix that sometimes fuels prosperity but occasionally destroys it. The full significance of the dissolution of Lehman Brothers remains to be measured. But this much is certain: it was a devastating blow to America s and the world s financial system. And it need not have happened. This is the story of why it did. 349 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9780307588340
