The title is perhaps too broad. A more accurate (and horribly awkward) title might be, "(1) Where we are now inside the USA financial system in terms of structural problems in USA finance and its regulation, feeding back with agency and information asymmetry problems, posing risks for you as an investor, mainly in reference to fixed income investments and credit risks, and posing broader risks to us all, and (2) How post 2008 regulators and regulations haven't fixed a bunch of bad sausage-making by said financial entities." The title's "your" then mainly refers to an investor of any size (especially given the new reach and granularity of investment products to snare the little guy), but can be stretched to anyone curious about this stuff. The masses' being incurious was a big driver of 2008's fiasco, and continues to be a driver of the problems mapped out here.She hits her points breezily. Again the broad title "risk" might overreach or over-promise. This is not a treatise or comprehensive work. It does not pretend to show broad and diverse points of view. It is a critique of recent activities and foibles of certain actors, big and pervasive as they are: bankers (shadow bankers too) and regulators.I appreciate the brevity. I raised an eyebrow at being sold what is a near booklet at full-book new-release price. However, my biggest peeve as a very bookish guy is slogging through filler. The modern recipe seems, one decently interesting concept plus tons of filler and repetition of said concept with lots of semi-useless anecdotes slathered on, equals one over-hyped contemporary book. Time is often better spent just seeing the title concept, reading the publisher's blurb, reflecting on the idea, and moving on.
