American Greed is both a personal and professional look at how greed caused the Great Recession in 2008.Leading up to this particular recession were steep declines in the housing market combined with the banking system sliding to the verge of collapse.

By meeting with numerous people over a long period of time, I gained first hand exposure and bore witness to what was happening in a very unique and particular way.
