In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, a storm brewed within the financial industry, fueled by deregulation, excessive risk-taking, and a pervasive culture of complicity. This compelling book delves deep into the systemic failures that led to one of the most significant economic downturns in modern history. What drove Wall Street's reckless behavior?
