I'm currently, very slowly, working my way through Andrew Ross Sorkin's "Too Big to Fail." I saw him on the Daily Show and got the book from a friend. The book is freaking huge but it methodically walks you through how the lack of regulation allowed a select few to get very rich by screwing a whole bunch of people. Sorkin seems to be convinced every melt down we've had has been the result of lack of regulations. I think he's right. Until DC moves to make changes we'll keep having these melt downs from time to time complete with a select few walking away with a ton of cash.
