    About this ebook

    In the spirit of Barbarians at the Gate and Liar’s Poker comes The Sellout, the definitive book on the recent collapse of Wall Street, one of the most dramatic and anxiety-ridden era in national socioeconomic history. In this powerful business narrative, Charles Gasparino, the author of Blood on the Floor and King of the Club, captures how avarice, arrogance, and sheer stupidity eroded Wall Street’s dominance, made many of our country’s most fabled financial institutions vulnerable to significant new foreign control, and profoundly weakened the financial security of millions of poor and middle-class American families.

      I have a lot of books on the 2008 crash, and what's interesting about them is that they're all subtly different in emphasis. This one is particularly critical of Merrill Lynch and Stan O'Neal, which other books are not, and I found it quite intriguing in that respect. A lot of the analysis is analysis you'll get in other places (this book came out not too long after the events), but the different angle is what you get here.
    • 5/5
      I've change my rating on Gasparino's book from 3 stars to 5 stars. Anyone who would attempt to understand the meltdown of the financial systems needs to read this to attain a proper perspective.
