Panic! (Abridged): The Story of Modern Financial Insanity Audiobook

" Did not finish. Too technical.... "

" This book is a "Oh! In hindsight" kind of book. This chronicles the Panics in the Financial Markets over the last 20 years - The stockmarket crash of 87, Asian Crisis of late 90's, the dot com bust and the mortgage crisis. Good read! "

" Its not for ordinary people. Its a good work meant for investors and traders. Hope this book drive some sense to their heads. "

" Excellent collection of writings about financial panics of the past. Read it. "

" This collection of articles provides some needed perspective on our current economic mess. "

" Very informative, but not as riveting as Lewis' other books "

" Great collection of articles written before during and after financial panics from 1987 through today. As always, Lewis does a great job choosing compelling writing to weave a story of how the crises of the last couple decades differ, and how they are the same. "

" Various views on the insanity of modern finance. "

" Good book that is a collection of articles following the rolling financial crises from the 1990's to today. With all that was being reported, why wasn't anything done? "

" A good history of various financial upheavals over the past several years (not the recent financial meltdown). Be aware, however, that the book is mostly a compendium of newspaper or magazine articles from folks other than Lewis. "

" I really enjoyed the articles in re to the 2000 downturn when some people were still optimistc about internet startups. Must read for those you think the latest news is the end all news ever. "

" An interesting overview of the financial markets of the past 30 years. Some of the articles are shockingly very modern. "

" Yup - we're in a heap o' trouble! "

" Collection of articles. Least interesting Michael Lewis book "

" Purely an anthology of the past few manias/crashes. I hope Mr Lewis shared the royalties.... I do not recommend this book if you are looking for deep analysis. It has none. "

" I didn't finish it because I found it pretty boring.. just a bunch of stories put together about economic market events. The lack of single storyline made it hard to become invested in the book and the different narrators made it lack cohesion. "

" A good history of various financial upheavals over the past several years (not the recent financial meltdown). Be aware, however, that the book is mostly a compendium of newspaper or magazine articles from folks other than Lewis. "

" About a third through the book. Not bad so far, as long as you like plodding through financial lingo about the workings of financial markets. "
