Nothing Is Too Big to Fail: How the Last Financial Crisis Informs Today

No institution, government, or country is “too big to fail. ” A behind-the-scenes account of what led to the 2008 crisis—and may soon lead to a bigger one.

Written by two bank executives with firsthand experience of several financial crises, Nothing is Too Big to Fail holds a stiff warning about the future of finance and social justice—revealing how the US government’s fiscal and monetary policies are creating asset and debt bubbles that could burst at any time. The COVID-19 pandemic is just one of many risks that could derail our highly leveraged and fragile economic system.

The authors also tell how government actions and an unregulated shadow banking system are leading to inequitable distribution of wealth, destroying the middle class, reducing trust in government, and accelerating racial injustice.

No institution, government, or country is “too big to fail. ” This book offers lessons learned from past crises and recommended actions for business and government leaders to take today to return our economic system and our democracy to a safer trajectory.
