ROGER LOWENSTEIN at Town Hall Seattle |
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Formerly a lead Wall Street Journal financial journalist who now has a column with Bloomberg, Roger Lowenstein has also written some key books on that terrain, notably When Genius Failed. He is here tonight with his newest, The End of Wall Street (Penguin Press). "Lowenstein offers an overview of the causes and consequences of the financial crisis that rises above the glut of similarly themed books with its juicy behind-the-scenes detail and thoughtful analysis ... The insider knowledge lends flavor and context to many of these stories—a ranting Jim Cramer, Ben Bernanke's loss of confidence, and Alan Greenspan's astonishing 2008 testimony to Congress. Lowenstein's strong knowledge of the source material and flair for the dramatic should draw readers who still wonder what went wrong and how." – Publishers Weekly. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
