William Cohan “House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall St” at Arcadia Cafe
Just Books will welcome William D. Cohan, a former senior Wall Street investment banker, and bestselling author of The Last Tycoons, and the winner of the 2007 FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award. Cohan writes for The Financial Times, Fortune, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Daily Beast, and appears frequently on CNBC. House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street (Doubleday, $27.95), does more than recount the incredible panic of the first stages of the financial meltdown. William D. Cohan beautifully demonstrates why the seemingly invincible Wall Street money machine came crashing down. In the book, Cohan talks to Steve Inskeep about the fall of Bear Stearns and one of the figures in the center of it all.
