About the Book: 

If only the world's finance ministers, bank CEOs, non execs, customers, borrowers, little old ladies, all of us had read this book 3 years ago, or 30 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

But we are.

So read this book and weep. And take solace in the fact that financial calamities have happened many many times before, and will happen again.

I started writing this book three years ago to amuse my fellow bankers. Little did we all know what was about to happen. But we should have. Sorry. CLARK McGINN
