{"product_id":"book-eh72","title":"Fatal Risk","description":" No shortage of material has been written on the financial crisis.  From the collapse of Bear Stearns to Lehman and more, the subject  has been well covered.  However, one story  the central  story  has largely remained uncovered:  that of AIG,  the behemoth at the center of the storm.  Bear disappeared and  the world survived, Lehman collapsed yet the markets saw another  day, a multitude of banks have folded, but the world has kept  spinning. What everyone  from AIG executives to government  and elected officials  knew was that if AIG failed, if the  government didnt step in, that the entire system would  collapse.  But few understand why this was, how it could have  happened, and what really went on inside AIG  and in the  offices of the NY Fed and US Treasury. Fatal Risk is the  story of how AIG was built almost too perfectly by the infamous  Hank Greenberg  who understood risk like no other. But when  Greenbergs disdain of regulators led to a run in with Eliot  Spitzer and his ouster, it all started to come undone, except that  it couldnt be unraveled.   Fatal Risk is the story of AIG, what it is, how it was so  brilliantly created, but how once the mastermind was no longer  running the show, it choked on risk, and how it almost brought the  entire system down with it. From the most colorful and mercurial  Hank Greenberg, to the B-actors he surrounded himself with,  investigative reporter Roddy Boyd takes readers inside the weird  world that was and is AIG.
