Best book on financial crisis. recent

cross-ied

Can any body suggest best book or a movie (I have seen inside job and too big to fail) on recent fianancial crisis?

Unforseen

HBO's Too Big To Fail was decent, but the book is much much better. The movie hardly even touches on AIG and certainly does not spotlight Paulson as much.

The Greatest Trade Ever
The Big Short
Too Big To Fail

Another book that doesn't get as much press about an industry that was very responsible for the financial crisis is "Confidence Game" by Christine Richard. She write for Bloomberg and the book is about Bill Ackman's crusade against the bond insurers most notably MBIA. It was a very good read. I also had no idea going into the book how big the bond insurance industry was and that MBIA at their peak was one of the 10 largest financial institutions in America.

Covers more than the most recent crisis but Bailout Nation is fantastic.

I really liked 'Diary of a Very Bad Year.'

'The Big Short' was very good as well.

The Big Short is entertaining, but so ridiculously biased.

History is never objectively written until well after the fact, though.
