An insider’s account of the three days that brought the financial world to its knees

September 12-14, 2008, marked the weekend that changed Wall Street, and the world, forever.

Top CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo was there in the middle of it all, getting firsthand comments and insights from decision markers on all sided of the crisis.

What she reported in real rime to her millions of CNBC and NBC viewers captured the events and the rationale behind the decisions that narrowly averted a total financial system collapse and the economic chaos that would have surely followed.

Drawing on her unprecedented access to top Wall Street players, global business leaders, and senior government officials, from treasury secretary Hank Paulson on down, Bartiromo’s fascinating and authoritative book tells the inside story of the issues, conflicts, and motivations behind the rapid-fire events.

She profiles the decision makers, explains their decisions, and explores the lingering, often troubling, consequences of those decisions in clear, concise, and compelling language.

She also tackles the big questions- What was the root cause of the crisis?

What were the warning signs?

Could the crisis have been avoided?

How does it continue to impact our lives today?

How much has Wall Street really changed?

The Weekend That Changed Wall Street is a fascinating, eye-opening read by the most respected and knowledgeable business journalist of out time.

‘One of the fifty people who shaped the last decade … the CNBC anchor has made the transition to the inner circle of the global business elite.’ - THE FINANCIAL TIMES

‘She has interviewed just about everyone who’s anyone in finance and politics, from presidents and Federal Reserve chairmen to Middle Eastern sheikhs.

Today, there are few, if any, CEOs in America who do not return her calls and fewer still who turn down a chance to be interviewed by her.’ - VANITY FAIR
