About this audiobook
An exposé of the billionaires who built the US economy on sand, and the virus that saw it crumble.
A kaleidoscopic account of the financial carnage of the pandemic, revealing the fear, grit, and gambles that drove the economy's winners and losers-from a leading Wall Street Journal reporter.
Crash Landing takes readers behind the scenes of an unprecedented period of global economic turmoil, letting readers into the inner lives of the men and women trying to save big business from the brink.
The world's most powerful CEOs never saw it coming, especially after a decade of growth that saw them riding high. Then whispers of a new flu-like illness became a crescendo, and by the end of March 2020 ten million people were out of work, iconic firms were begging for bailouts, and countless small businesses were in freefall.
How do you sustain a workforce that can no longer work? How do you ride out a crisis that has no end in sight? How do you prepare for a recovery in a new world? Liz Hoffman pulls back the curtain on the most violent few months in the modern global economy, taking readers inside boardrooms, onto factory floors and into trading pits. Featuring original interviews with the people responsible for the economy, and in charge of making sure it survives.
A gripping story of big business and even bigger characters, Crash Landing will appeal to fans of Michael Lewis and Andrew Sorkin. This is an audiobook that gives you the inside scoop, and answers the most important question of today: Will this remarkable time give rise to newfound resilience, or become just another costly mistake to be forgotten?
