@rachelmetz @AP Taking "totally obsessed with understanding" literally I'd recommend: - All the Devils Are Here (McLean/Nocera) - Slapped by the Invisible Hand (Gorton) - Diary of a Very Bad Year (n+1) Also Sorkin's and Geithner's books & maybe Friedman & Kraus "Engineering the Financial Crisis"      source
