When devils strike

摘要

Financial writers gorged themselves on the credit crunch of 2007 and 2008, producing many different kinds of books. Some of the best were broad-brush overviews (Andrew Ross Sorkin's "Too Big to Fail"), exposes of the failed firms (William Cohan's "House of Cards") and profiles of those who made money out of the crash ("The Greatest Trade Ever" by Gregory Zuckerman). To say something new, writers now have to take a sideways look at the crisis.
