Freefall by Joseph E Stiglitz
Lays out not only the course of the financial crisis which began in 2007, but its underlying causes, and shows why much more radical reforms are needed than are being contemplated if we are to avoid similar 'systemic' crises in the future. This book shows why the bailout has been only marginally effective and how it could have been much more so.
