Making it Happen: Fred Goodwin, RBS and the Men who blew up the British Economy by Iain Martin
Don't understand the complex financial instruments behind the economic meltdown of 2007? Neither did Fred Goodwin. This clear and lively account of how a conservative Scottish bank came to lead the charge to disaster shows Fred the Shred with all his considerable faults but others - from Gordon Brown to Mervyn King - don't emerge unscathed. Educational and, in a grisly way, highly entertaining.
(Tony Pratt - bwl 70 Autumn 2013 )
