The Financial Crisis - Hollywood Style

 

Ironically enough, Hollywood doesn´t seem to have had any problems raising the cash needed to produce a slew of new movies and documentaries relating to the financial crisis. Some of them are actually very good. The best I´ve seen are: 

Margin Call 2011

Margin Call: Thriller focusing on 24 hour period before a fictional Wall St firm goes under


Inside Job
: Oscar winning documentary analyzing the origins of the financial crisis

 

Too Big to Fail: Drama featuring key Wall St and Washington players at the start of the credit crunch

 

Thousands of books on these topics have also been published, and although the most authoritative titles are generally written many years after the events happened, the best books I´ve read on the financial crisis so far are: 

The Big Short by Michael Lewis 

Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008 by Paul Krugman 

Reckless Endangerment by Gretchen Mortensen & Joshua Rosner  

(If books on the financial crisis are the last thing you want to read, then you could do worse than pick up a copy of Walter Isaacson´s terrific biography of Steve Jobs). 

 

Kind Regards

Colin
