Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism shreds Andrew Ross Sorkin's column on Congress finally stiffening its spine today. The headline betrays the status quo argument that follows: "Beware the Result of Outrage."

John M. Mason submits: Both of these books are excellent reads. They represent different “takes” on the recent financial crisis and consequently complement each other. Sorkin’s “Too Big To Fail,” (Viking, 2009) is the more personal due to the fact that he is a New York Times reporter and business columnist: he has a legendary collection of connections which he...

Yesterday, I went after two targets in one post.

... one flaw in this book (among its many virtues) its that Pozen lacks the flare of a Gillian Tett or Andrew Ross Sorkin, which leaves his chapter-by-chapter historical narratives (especially in the first part) dry and straightforward. Then again, to some people that may be an advantage of the book. To comprehensively address the claims in this book would itself require another...

As explained in Andrew Ross Sorkin's Too Big to Fail , Morgan Stanley received a $9 billion investment from Mitsubishi UFJ in the fall of 2008 that kept the firm from collapsing. The payment was supposed to be wired electronically, which is how most large banking transactions are done.

In the New York magazine profile earlier this month , Andrew Ross Sorkin said that one of the ways he’s able to land big sources is by not being “adversarial or coming to the table with an ax to grind.” The piece also claimed that many of ARS’s colleagues at the Times think it has to do with the fact that he’s too buddy-buddy with his high-profile...
