House of cards : a tale of hubris and wretched excess on Wall Street / William D. Cohan.

Cohan, William D. (Author).

Summary:

At the beginning of March 2008 the monetary fabric of Bear Stearns, one of the world's oldest and largest investment banks, began unraveling. After ten days, the bank no longer existed, its assets sold under duress to rival JPMorgan Chase. William Cohan exposes the corporate arrogance, power struggles, and deadly combination of greed and inattention that led to the collapse not only of Bear Stearns but the very foundations of Wall Street.-- From publisher's description.
