[Spanish] - 2008 (Too Big to Fail): La batalla por salvar el sistema financiero

"«Asombrosa y rica en detalles, la narración de Sorkin sobre la épica crisis financiera de 2008 es un logro extraordinario que será difícil de superar.» The Financial Times Poco después del colapso financiero de 2008, Andrew Ross Sorkin ofreció el primer relato exhaustivo y desde dentro de una de las mayores crisis económicas de la historia contemporánea. Con acceso sin precedentes a los protagonistas —desde los despachos de Lehman Brothers hasta los pasillos de Washington o reuniones confidenciales en Asia—, este libro reconstruye, momento a momento, cómo un sistema que parecía invulnerable se desplomó. A través de una narración vibrante y precisa, Sorkin desvela las decisiones, tensiones y ambiciones que marcaron aquellos días decisivos. Figuras clave de las finanzas y la política se enfrentan aquí no solo a una crisis económica, sino también a sus propios límites: el ego, la codicia, el miedo y la responsabilidad de sostener un sistema al borde del colapso. Como en un thriller, cada escena revela nuevos detalles acerca de un desastre cuyas raíces se hundían en la década anterior. Esta es la historia definitiva de cómo se gestó una tormenta global que afectó a millones de personas. Un retrato inigualable para comprender el año en que el mundo financiero se tambaleó y aquellos que, creyéndose demasiado grandes para caer, terminaron precipitándose al vacío. La crítica ha dicho: «Exhaustivo y escalofriante.» Time «Sus escenas de acción son íntimas y envolventes.» The New Yorker «Sorkin captura con destreza el entusiasmo desenfrenado y la codicia desbordante.» The New York Times Book Review «Meticulosamente investigado brillantemente contado.» The Economist «Andrew Ross Sorkin ha escrito una fascinante saga sobre ciegos intentando guiar a despistados a través de la Segunda Gran Depresión.» Tom Wolfe"

1929: Inside the Crash

"Brought to you by Penguin. From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, “the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,” comes a spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history. With the depth of a classic history and the drama of a thriller, 1929 unravels the greed, blind optimism, and folly that led to an era-defining collapse—one with ripple effects that still shape our society today In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin. With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivety in an endless boom led to wreckage. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again. This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that “this time is different.” It’s about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late. Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril. 'One of the best narrative histories I've read' Wall Street Journal 'A new [Andrew Ross Sorkin] book is always at the top of my reading list' Bill Gates 'A real eye-opener...a work of true scholarship' Financial Times © Andrew Ross Sorkin 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"
