A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street
Book • 2009
This book provides a meticulous and gripping narrative of the events leading to the collapse of Bear Stearns, one of the oldest and largest investment banks.

It exposes the excessive greed, corruption, and unethical practices within the firm, particularly the failure of its hedge funds loaded with subprime mortgages.

The author, William D. Cohan, offers a comprehensive look at the power struggles among senior management, the lack of oversight, and the catastrophic consequences of their actions on the global financial system.
