Bull by the Horns by Sheila Bair
The former FDIC chairwoman, and one of the first people to acknowledge the full risk of subprime loans, offers a unique perspective on the financial crisis. Appointed by George W. Bush as the chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 2006, Sheila Bair witnessed the origins of the financial crisis and in 2008 became--along with Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, and Timothy Geithner--one of the key public servants trying to repair the damage to the global economy. Bull by the Horns is her remarkable and refreshingly honest account of that contentious time and the struggle for reform that followed and continues to this day.Sheila C.Bair is regarded as one of the world's foremost financial experts. She has a strong foundation in banking and finance, and she has been recognized for her written work on financial matters, including her educational works on money and finance for children, as well as her professional accomplishments. Outstanding Achievement Award from the Association of Education Publishers (2005); Personal Service Feature of the Year and Author of the Month Awards from Highlights Magazine for Children (2002, 2003, and 2004); and The Treasury Medal (2002) are among the awards she has received. Her husband and children live in Maryland with her.
