Charles Ferguson won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for his acclaimed film Inside Job, narrated by Matt Damon. A former entrepreneur with a PhD in political science, he lives in New York City and speaks throughout the world.
From the maker of the film, Inside Job, everything you didn’t want to know about the World Financial Crisis. He concentrates not just on what has been done but how these same financiers have ridden the storm, continuing to draw in obscene amounts of money and emerge unchallenged and out of gaol. It’s a book to make you despair and to make you angry, everyone should read it to find out how we’re being screwed by the financial elite – the criminal elite as Ferguson would have it.Like for Like ReadingThe Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, Michael LewisToo Big to Fail: Inside the Battle to Save Wall Street, Andrew Ross Sorkin

The definitive big picture on the financial crisis, from the man behind the Oscar-winning documentary that exposed the workings of the new economic elite Based on explosive interviews, court documents and corporate archives, Inside Job traces in gripping detail how decades of deregulation gave birth to a predator nation, with power players cycling through positions in government, academia and Wall Street - and continuing to do so even in the wake of the global financial crisis. With stunning clarity, Charles Ferguson delivers an uncompromising accounting of how a new economic oligarchy has wrested control of our politics and the prospects for real recovery.
The first book of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality, and anarchy, No End In Sight is a shocking story of wholesale incompetence, recklessness, and venality. Culled from over 200 hours of footage collected for the film, the book provides a candid and alarming retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials, Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and prominent analysts. Together, these voices reveal the principal errors of U.S. policy that largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq todayand what we could and should do about them now.No End In Sight marks the first time Americans will be allowed inside the White House, Pentagon, and Baghdad's Green Zone to understand for themselves the disintegration of Iraq and how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war.
