John Lanchester: Whoops! (Hardcover, 2010, Penguin Books) 4 stars

We are, to use a technical economic term, screwed. The cowboy capitalists had a party …

Interesting book explaining many financial products and looking at what's behind them. Good for a general understanding of the banking crisis of 2008 and the still ongoing problems.

I found the middle part rather repetitive and war sightly bored.

The end again is much better. The author even a fan of our liberal (democratic) capitalism doesn't hold back on criticism of capitalism
