Reckless Endangerment

L. J. Ganser’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; his steady and authoritative tone makes even the most intricate financial details accessible. Morgenson’s reporting is razor-sharp, dissecting the interplay between Washington insiders, Wall Street banks, and predatory lenders with a journalistic precision that never loses its edge. The pacing is well-considered, balancing detailed economic explanations with moments of high drama that keep you hooked. However, some sections feel overly technical, which might deter casual listeners. Nonetheless, for those who want to unravel the complex web of events leading up to the 2008 crisis, this audiobook is an invaluable resource.
