A Colossal Failure of Common Sense
In this deep dive, we uncover the shocking truth behind the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in history. Based on the book 'A Colossal Failure of Common Sense' by former Lehman VP Lawrence G. McDonald and Patrick Robinson, we reveal how arrogance, greed, and a toxic culture of denial doomed a 158-year-old Wall Street giant. From the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act to the reckless use of derivatives and CDOs, we expose the inside story of how executives ignored repeated warnings, manipulated balance sheets, and triggered a global financial meltdown. Watch to understand why common sense was the ultimate casualty.
