Produktbeschreibung
Acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Suskind, author of several "New York Times" bestsellers gives an explosive inside account of an Obama White House overwhelmed by the global financial crisis--and the political and economic consequences still being felt today.
The hidden history of Wall Street and the White House comes down to a single, powerful, quintessentially American concept: confidence. Both centers of power, tapping brazen innovations over the past three decades, learned how to manufacture it. But in August 2007, that confidence finally began to crumble. In this gripping and brilliantly reported book, Ron Suskind tells the story of what happened next, as Wall Street struggled to save itself while a man with little experience and soaring rhetoric emerged from obscurity to usher in "a new era of responsibility." It is a story that follows the journey of Barack Obama, who rose as the country fell, offering the first full portrait of his tumultuous presidency.
