I am amazed at what Charlie Gasparino has done, both for the exhaustive labor he obviously devoted to this book and for its nerve in depicting what often appear as short-sighted, opportunistic incompetents publicly cloaked as technical-financial wizards - big-name pseudo Great Gasby-incompetents who achieve personal wealth through social connections, golf course and card game gambling acumen, despite limited education and meager in-depth financial understanding.
I was at first impressed with the close focus of the book - its chapters progressing chronologically and player-by-player, interview by interview - but after a few hundred pages became a bit impatient, feeling such verbiage excessive.
I skimmed through Hank Paulson's "On the Brink" yesterday over a coffee. After reading Charlie's work, a quick skim was definitely enough. Paulson's in comparison appears naive.
I happened to be sitting in a realtor's office back around 2005 and heard a Mexican take one call after another in the background - speaking loudly as she took each, and reciting to every caller much the same line: nothing mattered, she could fill out the forms and get every one of them $180,000, no questions asked - no papers, no salary confirmations.
I was shocked, especially as my agent friend told me the mortgages were sold off in bundles of $1 million - i.e., it wasn't their worry.
That experience gave me a chill - the thought (if we start at the bottom) of decrepit motels selling off rooms to illegals who cared little about ownership and relished the growth in ghettos as a wonderful experience in the idiotic American Dream. - etc.
So in Charlie's book we get a glimpse at what was Barney Frank's dim-witted view of the U.S., along with the blind ignorance of an endless list of other (what would appear to have been) mental retards.
I don't know how Charlie Gasparino can continue to function as a reporter or dare call to meet with a long list of such characters!
