Reckless Endangerment

New York Times's Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner discuss how the financial meltdown resulted from the toxic interplay of Washington, Wall Street, and corrupt mortgage lenders. Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon reveals how the watchdogs who were supposed to protect us from financial harm were actually complicit in creating the financial crisis. Drawing on previously untapped sources and building on original research from Rosner—who raised early warnings with the public and investors, and kept detailed records—Morgenson connects the dots that led to this fiasco.
