I LOVE her voice : )

[ni33de]

what a woman!!!

[onlyafool1611]

Bullsh** An hour to sell her book!! Her sweet voice makes her a great saleswoman when there is 100 another books out there on the same subject. Watch her when he asks her "what did you do at Goldman sachs?" If she was telling the whole truth behind the curtain this interview would be a lot different. I wont be buying the book! Or sending the email out.

@Michiel1972

Seriously? She's stating the facts.

When CEO asssume that position that means they hold absolute accountability for their company; I have heard the excuses and statements such as, " I had no such knowledge of what so and so was doing, it was not brought to my attention". Their bonuses were based on their company's performance, so I thought.

She worked at Goldman Sachs.. hmmm.. makes you think. When you hear her talk it's like her task is doing damage control and to weaken the guilt of the extreme evil actions by the sociopath heads/CEO's of the financial companies. Create some sympathy for these total evil guys. What she says which starts around the 8th minute makes me sick. As if Stan O'Neal and Angelo Mozilo didn't know what was happening.

@rjlohman I am going to buy the boo as well. Loved the enron smartest guys in the room movie.

I was a little disappointed that the book did not go into more detail on legislative history. The Banking Act of 1933 demonstrated why controls were necessary, and the blatant, if not intentional ignorance of those lessons was central to the systemic behavior that resulted in the crisis. That said, a wonderful piece of work that should be required reading of every Business major.

@andyissemicool: the problem is greed, a most human frailty. The rich use it to dupe the masses into supporting their agenda b/c the american dream is largely about joining them. How do you get the average person supporting the repeal of "the death tax" and a thousand other bad economic policies? The best government is one that governs least? then you get THIS. Most of Wall St. is a glorified pyramid scheme and we're too scared to regulate them b/c they also happen to hold a gun to our head...
