Henry M. Paulson, Jr. served under President George W. Bush as the 74th Secretary of the Treasury from June 2006 until January 2009. Before coming to Treasury, Paulson was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs since the firm's initial public offering in 1999. He joined Goldman Sachs Chicago Office in 1974 and rose through the ranks holding several positions including, Managing Partner of the firm's Chicago office, Co-head of the firm's investment Banking Division, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Co-Senior partner.
Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Paulson was a member of the White House Domestic Council, serving as Staff Assistant to the President from 1972 to 1973, and as Staff Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon from 1970 to 1972.
Paulson graduated from Dartmouth in 1968, where he majored in English, was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and an All Ivy, All East football player. He received an M.B.A. from Harvard in 1970.
When Hank Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, was appointed in 2006 to become the nation's next Secretary of the Treasury, he knew that his move from Wall Street to Washington would be daunting and challenging.
But Paulson had no idea that a year later, he would find himself at the very epicenter of the world's most cataclysmic financial crisis since the Great Depression. Major institutions including Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup, among others-all steeped in rich, longstanding tradition-literally teetered at the edge of collapse. Panic ensnared international markets. Worst of all, the credit crisis spread to all parts of the U.S. economy and grew more ominous with each passing day, destroying jobs across America and undermining the financial security millions of families had spent their lifetimes building.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime economic nightmare. Events no one had thought possible were happening in quick succession, and people all over the globe were terrified that the continuing downward spiral would bring unprecedented chaos. All eyes turned to the United States Treasury Secretary to avert the disaster.
This, then, is Hank Paulson's first-person account. From the man who was in the very middle of this perfect economic storm, ON THE BRINK is Paulson's fast-paced retelling of the key decisions that had to be made with lightning speed. Paulson puts the reader in the room for all the intense moments as he addressed urgent market conditions, weighed critical decisions, and debated policy and economic considerations with of all the notable players-including the CEOs of top Wall Street firms as well as Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Sheila Bair, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, and then-President George W. Bush.
More than an account about numbers and credit risks gone bad, ON THE BRINK is an extraordinary story about people and politics-all brought together during the world's impending financial Armageddon.

评分这是一本金融危机的日记,不同的是写日记的是前美国财长Henry Paulson。与同样回顾金融危机的Too Big To Fail相比,On the Brink几乎没有任何奇闻轶事和调侃诙谐,有的只是Paulson严谨平实有条有理的叙述。 尽管如此,仍然很欣赏这位前高盛CEO真知灼见下的妙笔生花,比如有关...
too big to fail 完整版的解释
评分He did everything he's supposed to do in that position. I did not see any conspiracy going on during the decision-making process. I cannot feel the tense like I read Too big to fail, too much nagging about the details, but nagging is good to understand how many things need to be considered before reaching an agreement in America

评分这种历史事件本身不需要太多的修辞,阅读历史本身已经是无比精彩的体验。这本书最出彩的,无疑是提供了08年起 尤其是9月到12月间呢些事情细节的详细描写,了解金融危机必看之书。
评分#这几本书真是让我对保尔森好感剧增,本身就是对他的职业生涯觉得很感兴趣,开篇读到他对礼宾一头雾水感到十分有趣,这本书把too big to fail的后续也写了出来,而且从局内人的角度,讲了两党间政治磨皮各种无奈,这么大的危机遇上大选,能做到这个地步真是很不容易了。下一步很想看Tim Geithner的版本哈哈
