Best-selling “Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led To Economic Armegeddon,” by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner, “calls out greedy guys behind mortgage mess,” according to a USA Today book review by Kathryn Caravan. See also “Home Truths,” by James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal. Both reviews provide examples of how the book peels back layer after layer of a bad onion to reveal how a nice-sounding idea (home ownership for all) turned into a house of cards that was doomed to collapse, after being propped up by private greed and public corruption.
