In this wide-ranging book, Wall Street legend Henry Kaufman
recounts the events surrounding the catastrophic collapse of Lehman
Brothers from his then vantage point on the board. He explains how,
ironically, the Federal Reserve's shortcomings contributed to its
growing power. And he argues that Dodd-Frank - by sanctioning
rather than truly addressing the too-big-to-fail dilemma -
squandered a rare opportunity for essential reform. Whether
sparring in print with Citicorp's mercurial Walter Wriston,
consulting with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, spurning
a deal with junk bond king Michael Milken, or reflecting on his
long-time friend Paul Volcker, Kaufman brings readers inside
post-war Wall Street. Looking ahead, he dissects major national and
global trends and the likely future of credit markets, financial
institutions, and leading economies. As we search for bearings in
the wake of the 2008 financial debacle, Henry Kaufman offers sage
and penetrating analysis of today's superheated and - he argues -
still-fragile financial world.
