Why people recommend it
All the Devils Are Here by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera is a comprehensive historical account detailing the origins and mechanics of the 2008 financial crisis. The book was referenced on Breaking Points by Ryan Grim during a discussion regarding modern financial engineering and artificial intelligence booms. Grim cited the work to establish Bethany McLean's credibility and deep expertise on financial crises, noting that her background writing this seminal book on the 2008 collapse gave her significant authority to weigh in on contemporary economic risks. Additionally, Bethany McLean herself mentioned the research process behind the book during an appearance on the Dwarkesh Podcast. Recalling a conversation she had with a former Goldman Sachs partner while working on the project, McLean used the exchange to illustrate foundational economic principles, noting how finance was originally intended to serve as a supportive underlying substructure for the broader real-world economy rather than an end in itself. Through these podcast appearances, the book was consistently recognized as a definitive, authoritative resource on systemic financial corruption and Wall Street malfeasance.
