Several months ago I pointed out that CNBC's David Faber put together a two hour documentary about the housing bust and credit crisis entitled "The House of Cards." I got lots of positive feedback from readers who watched the special so I thought I would let everyone know that Faber has written a book (just released) on the topic, which branches out from his television special.

The book is called"And Then the Roof Caved In: How Wall Street Greed and Stupidity Brought Capitalism to Its Knees" and it appears the early reviews are superb. On Amazon.com, for instance, the first 21 ratings from customers have all given the book 5 out of 5 stars. If the last few years of U.S. economics and finance interest you, I strongly recommend it if you are looking for some quality reading material.
