Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises by Timothy F. Geithner

Description

A bible for people facing a financial crisis, Stress Test has made a significant impact not only for investors and money managers but also for every financially struggling individual or institution in the present age. The book serves as a how-to guide for people facing financial debacles as the author used a clear and compelling way of presenting the financial crisis he faced and overcame.

Stress Test is also a good read for governments to gain insightful ideas to improve financial management and solve financial difficulties. A recount or memoirs of the Treasury secretary, Stress Test, is a message about public service. 

The narrative does not end with the resolution of the crisis as it includes the vivid description of the aftershocks of the crisis.
