Panic: The Story of Modern Financial Insanity

This is a compilation, primarily of "journalist" articles before, during and after major financial crises of the past few decades. Some of the articles included are well written and insightful, while others border on garbage. The intention of the book is good. However, it doesn't quite seem to carry out the goal. Since the essays differ significantly in tone and source, it is difficult to get a coherent picture of the true nature of the events and the opinion surrounding them.
