Excoriating but readable October 1, 2008
G. L. Haggett (UK)
An often excoriating take on the current plight of the financial services industry, which takes the Northern Rock fiasco as a starting point for an examination of the wider picture.
There is definitely a right-wing slant to what is said, but this book is valuable for its readability and in particular its refusal to lose itself in financial jargon; instead, it makes complicated matters clear to the layman.

Beware!
I bought this book at a local book store. When I got it home I found the first 20 pages were missing! I took it back and it was exchanged with no problems and we found a second copy with the same problem.

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If ever anyone wanted to know what the `credit crunch` was all about then look no further than this offering from `The Daily Mail`s`chief economic journalist- alex brummer.
The book explains how, why and who were the main protagonists in this unfolding financial drama.
From the background of Northern Rock`s woes to the exploits of jerome kerviel at societe general, all points are candidly covered in brummer`s typical style of writing.
There is even a glossary of financial jargon, which detail the often mysterious terms used by the professionls, expained in every-day english.
Well worth the money!
Rock Cruncher July 16, 2008

Feeling the pinch of the credit crunch? So were Northern Rock, and foolishly, they chose to deal with it by hoarding funds, with disastrous repercussions. Alex Brummer's thorough and engagingly written account blows the whistle on the scandal of the troubled British bank.
This is the book Northern Rock didn't want you to read and Brummer's tight, journalistic style makes this an expose you can't afford to miss.
