Review:
Praise for "Other People's Money"
"The reader interested in New York real estate history, its moneyed elites, or even the self-contradictory aspects of social investment should find ample material for reflection and enjoyment in Bagli's account."
-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Bagli's sourcing is impressive, and readers will welcome his ability to make arcane investment dealings comprehensible." --"Kirkus"
""Other People's Money "delivers one of the great untold stories of the financial crisis--how greed, arrogance, and the distorted incentives of the commercial real estate market helped drive our nation's economy off a cliff. Told through meticulous reporting of what was arguably the worst real estate deal of all time, in this vitally important book Bagli demonstrates how the well-heeled and well-connected walked away relatively unscathed from the wreckage that they created, leaving a devastated middle class holding the bag yet again."
--Neil Barofsky, "New York"" Times" bestselling author of "Bailout: How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street"
"Charles Bagli does for the politics and economics of urban real estate finance what Jane Jacobs did for urban street life. Bagli's new book, "Other People's Money," uses the sale of a major housing complex on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, to demonstrate how contemporary real estate speculators deploy international finance and local politics to change the housing options of more ordinary city dwellers. Bagli, a talented journalist, makes the street-level impacts of abstract global finance easily understood."

""Other People's Money "is a terrific book. With remarkable textual clarity and a fine-tuned dramatic sensibility, Charles Bagli has recreated the extraordinarily high stakes poker game that was the largest real estate deal in U.S. history. His characters include the biggest real estate players on the planet as well as middle-class residents desperately holding on by their fingertips to the only housing they can afford. A truly epic tale, one that systematically demonstrates the logic (and illogic) of the real estate bubble that set the stage for worldwide recession and that reveals the wild, unforgiving nature of twenty-first-century capitalism. It's a powerful story and a great read."
