LARRY FINK’S $12 TRILLION SHADOW

SUZANNA ANDREWS, 02 March 2010

How did Fink rebound from a humiliating failure to become the financial fulcrum of Washington and Wall Street? Through a series of interviews, the author probes his role in the crisis, his unique risk-assessment system, and the growing concern he inspires.
