'The Great American Stickup': It Was The Economy, Stupid

Excerpted from 'The Great American Stickup'


"It Was the Economy, Stupid"

"It was a humbling question for someone from the financial sector to be asked--after all, we were the ones responsible." ~ Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., former Goldman Sachs CEO
