Présentation de l'éditeur
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BBC SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 2010 They were masters of the financial universe, flying in private jets and raking in billions. They thought they were too big to fail. Yet they would bring the world to its knees. Andrew Ross Sorkin, the news-breaking New York Times journalist, delivers the first true in-the-room account of the most powerful men and women at the eye of the financial storm - from reviled Lehman Brothers CEO Dick 'the gorilla' Fuld, to banking whiz Jamie Dimon, from bullish Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to AIG's Joseph Cassano, dubbed 'The Man Who Crashed the World'. Through unprecedented access to the key players, Sorkin meticulously re-creates frantic phone calls, foul-mouthed rows and white-knuckle panic, as Wall Street fought to save itself.

Too Big to Fail est l'histoire passionnante de la crise de Wall Street aux USA en septembre 2008, presque minute par minute, jour par jour, jusqu'au dénouement. Cela a été écrit par un journaliste de New York Times, et on sent bien la recherche minutieuse qui soutien ce livre, qui d'ailleur, se lit comme un thriller.
Je suis américaine et je n'ai donc pas eu de mal à le lire, mais je crois que pour beaucoup de lecteurs français, il serait difficile à cause de tous les verbes à particule dedans, mais c'était leur façon de parler, cela rend le livre beaucoup plus vrai et intéressant, on suit tous les vrais personnages, on les connaît maintenant, on les voit aussi comme des êtres humains, qui font de leur mieux pour que leur institution financière ne fasse faillite, et l'économie avec.
Pour tout ceux qui s'intéressent à l'économie et qui maitrisent bien l'anglais, je n'ai qu'une chose à dire: vous allez être subjugués par ce livre qui ne vous laissera pas un moment de répit, comme pendant la crise.

Ce livre est intéressant, mais il tient plus du compte rendu que de l'analyse. Je recommanderais plutôt le livre de Stiglitz "Freefall" qui s'intéresse aux causes de la crise.
This book is interesting, but it is more a day to day description of what happened than an anlysis of the reasons which led to this situation. I'd rather recommend Striglitz's "Freefall" which goes deeper into the roots of the problem.
