But no data, no textbook, no chart can ever illustrate the human aspects of what causes bubbles, and provide the first-hand account of the thinking--the flavor of those moments--from within those conference rooms at that point in history. The excitement, the group-think, the momentum and fear that squelch resistance, the systemic power of the mighty current pushing the fish along, this is the inside story of the feelings within the walls of Countrywide during that time, which textbooks will never be able to recreate..."--Dust jacket.
