Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin

Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and Themselves

by Andrew Ross Sorkin

Too Big to Fail is the definitive account of the 2008 financial collapse, told with unrivaled access and narrative intensity by New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin. This gripping behind-the-scenes chronicle reveals the secret meetings, frantic calls, and high-stakes decisions that shaped the fate of the global economy.

With precision and drama, Sorkin documents how the CEOs of major banks, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and White House officials scrambled to avoid total collapse.

It’s a story of greed, ego, fear, and power—where billion-dollar deals were sealed in hours and careers rose or fell overnight. Updated with a 10-year retrospective, Too Big to Fail remains an essential exploration of economic fragility and institutional failure.

Awards & Praise:

A New York Times bestseller and basis for the Emmy-winning HBO film. Called “too good to put down” by The Economist and hailed as a must-read in the world of business and policy.
