 Rollicking analysis of an S&L's collapse July 2, 2004
Teresa Heinrich (Morgan Hill, CA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
James Shea adopts a twangy vernacular to skewer the inflation and deflation of Don Dixon's Texas savings and loan. Dixon took advantage of deregulation and profited handsomely. Whether it was intentional fraud or opportunism is up to the reader to decide, but the book is written like a summer detective novel. It's better than so much of the hack work out there, and it's true! I recommend this in addition to "Funny Money" by Mark Singer.
Daisy Chain October 5, 2009
D. Carver
A must read for anyone in the Banking industry. Well written and easy to follow the "chain" of events. Although the specifics of the problems back in the early 80's were different, the meltdown we experienced in 2008/2009 was based on the same basic weakness...greed.

Ty M. Albright (Dallas)
This book should be required reading for any college student studying finance, banking or real estate. It provides an accurate look at the shenanigans that lead to the collapse of the S&L industry and real estate market in the late 80's. Although the story is interesting , it's value is in the history it reports.
