Bernanke’s guide to understanding the financial crisis

Fed Chief Ben Bernanke was asked at last week’s Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission what readings he would suggest for those wanting to understand the financial crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported his recommendations in an article titled “Ben Bernanke’s Labor Day Reading List.”  The only book on the list was The Lords of Finance by Liaquat Ahamed. We have a copy at HG172 .A2 A43 2009. The rest of Bernanke’s testimony can be found in the September 2nd hearings on “Too Big to Fail.”
