All the Devils are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis

All the Devils Are Here delves into the decades-long history of the financial crisis, offering a comprehensive look at the events and individuals that led to the economic downturn. Through the lens of renowned business journalists Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, the book explores the motivations of CEOs, politicians, and everyday people, showing how their actions and decisions contributed to the crisis. It challenges the simplistic narratives often presented and instead paints a nuanced picture of the events that shook the global economy. The book goes beyond the surface-level blame game to reveal the deeper, more complex factors at play. It examines the cultural and psychological aspects of homeownership in America and how these were exploited and manipulated. By weaving together the stories of various players, from Wall Street traders to anonymous borrowers, the authors provide a compelling narrative that highlights the interconnectedness of the financial world and the human nature that drove the crisis.
