Publisher's Synopsis
The book is a memory flash of the 2008 financial crisis. It recounts several public known events and some non-public stories from the perspective of a witness and a passer-by.
The first part of the book "Money, Crisis, Love and Souls" includes several infamous events and public figures that I encountered during my years in JP Morgan and Barclays.The second part "Ordinary People's lives" contains non-public stories that are either authentic or inspired from various peoples' life experiences. For the sake of privacy, I have masked the identity of each character by using pseudonym. Table of Content Prelude
