- Book Review: There will probably never be an Oxford Companion to the 2008 American Financial Disaster. Those interested in this baneful topic, however, would do well to read Reckless Endangerment. Veteran New York Times business reporter Gretchen Morgenson and financial analyst Joshua Rosner (who, Morgenson says, “has seen every trick there is”) acknowledge that their book about the events that led up to the financial crisis is not the last word on this sorry episode. But it is, they promise, a work that names names and smokes out 20 years of key incidents that produced the crash and its trillion-dollar aftermath. In this they deliver.
