About the Book
Bankers used to be stodgy types, close and fretful, and above all, disinclined to act. These Old Turks went out of their way to protect their clients’ monies, sometimes erring on the side of too much caution.
Over time, watched over by a somnolent if not collusive government, bankers morphed to a new model: The Young Turks. They gamble with other people’s money and constantly say that they know what will happen tomorrow.
How we went from the Old Turks to the New Turks is the story of this book. And, too, how the avoidable debacle of 2008 seemed nearly to swamp the “Martin Ship of Five” until, . . . until they realized….
