Financial Crisis Inquiry Report
From 2009 to 2011, I was special assistant to Vice Chairman William M. Thomas on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. The commission’s work was published as the Financial Crisis Inquiry Report in 2010. I believe that the Commission’s report continues to be the most thorough description of the events that precipitated the 2008 financial crisis and is necessary reading for anyone interested in understanding the causes of the crisis.
