Confidence Men

Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President

Ron Suskind

"Confidence Men" by Ron Suskind is a gripping and revelatory book that delves into the full story of America's financial meltdown. The book introduces readers to an untested new President who is charged with taming Wall Street, restoring a shaken nation's confidence, and rescuing an economy that is on the verge of collapse. Suskind moves seamlessly from the trading floors of Lower Manhattan to the power corridors of Washington D.C. Along the way, he introduces a larger than life cast of politicians, advisors, titans of finance, reformers, lobbyists, and others, whose actions and inactions played a crucial role in the financial crisis. Filled with piercing insights and startling disclosures, Confidence Men is an illuminating read that is not to be missed.
