The book is well researched, well written, and even entertaining in parts (if you can get passed the outrage and distance yourself). The only issue I have is that at the end of the book, "kleptocracy" and corporate irresponsible behavior is repeated again and again as the source of the problems. The authors vaguely suggest democracy, transparency, and criminal justice action as solutions which I also think are necessary. However, there is a possibility (not mentioned in the book) that the whole system is designed to behave the way it behaves and the main solution is to change the system and not just blame it on corrupt agents. When the behavior is repeated again and again, decades after decades, at some point you should consider it as normal state of the financial system at hand and not just anomalies. But knowing the background of the authors this is not surprising and for the most part it hasn't affected the reporting and the information in the book.
