Friday Reading – What Happened to the Financial Markets?

In the new forums in the Personal MBA Community, Gary Petersen asks:
I’d like to become more informed about current economic conditions and decisions and about how they relate to conditions and decisions from the history of the United States. Does any one have suggestions on who is good at writing about this? What should I be reading to be better informed?
Here are the three best resources I’ve found to explain what’s happening in the financial markets – they make great “Friday Reading”:
- A Visual Guide to the Financial Crisis by Jess Bachman
- The End of Wall Street’s Boom by Michael Lewis
- Inside Wall Street’s Black Hole by Michael Lewis
Have you come across any articles or books that have helped you understand the turmoil in the financial markets? Please share by leaving a comment!
