Punks in Ontario Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Can anyone recommend any books about the 2008 crisis. Please keep in mind that as a Canadian, I don't completely "get" some American institutions such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSNative Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You'll probably get many opinions based on people's viewpoints. I like this book because it is a compilation of many essays. Many viewpoints, one book. http://www.amazon.com/Caused-Financial-Crisis-Jeffrey-Friedman/dp/0812221184/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1329697754&sr=8-24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
