Read some newspaper stories. Watch a financial show on TV. Surf the Web. You'll find more detail on why the financial world came to its knees elsewhere. Really.

Apart from the hyped to the moon title and the usual tendency of 90% of mainstream money books to be either insanely,rabid dog frothingly pessimistic (Howard Ruff, anyone?) or screamingly, irrationally optimistic of the You Can Make a Billion $ in Your Spare Time with No Risk!!!! (Jim Cramer, anyone?) this is really just a litany of the failures of '08: Bear Sterns, Lehman Bros, AIG, Fannie & Freddie, WA Mu, and so on that anyone with even a passing interest in popular culture, let alone business, ...
