Confidence Game: How Hedge Fund Manager Bill Ackman Called Wall Street's Bluff

Confidence Game is a tale about the dangerous delusions that humbled America's largest financial institutions and plunged the country into recession.

Today, Ackman's warning looks remarkably prescient. The invisible bond insurance business has all but evaporated and so has confidence in the markets.
