After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead

The book "After the Music Stopped" by Alan Blinder is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the 2007-2009 financial crisis and its aftermath.

With bracing clarity, Blinder shows how the U.S.

financial system grew too complex and unregulated, leading to a perfect storm that threatened the global financial system.

The author provides clear-eyed answers to the questions still before us, including how we got into that mess and how we got out - to the extent we have gotten out.

Blinder also considers the future, offering recommendations for handling future crises better and identifying vulnerabilities that still exist.

This book is an essential history that we cannot afford to forget, as one thing history teaches us is that it will happen again.
