The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission was created to "examine the causes of the current ?nancial and economic crisis in the United States." In this report, the Commission presents to the President, the Congress, and the American people the results of its examination and its conclusions as to the causes of the crisis. The Commission's statutory instructions set out speci?c topics for inquiry and called for the examination of the collapse of major ?nancial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government. This report ful?lls these mandates. In the course of its research and investigation, the Commission reviewed millions of pages of documents, interviewed more than 700 witnesses, and held 19 days of public hearings in New York, Washington, D.C., and communities across the country. The Commission also drew from a large body of existing work about the crisis developed by congressional committees, government agencies, academics, journalists, legal investigators, and many others. Includes table of contents, index, notes to chapters, and dissenting views. (This is a commercial reprint of a US Government report)
Dissent from the Majority Report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
Peter J. Wallison is the only member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) to release a formal dissent to the FCICOs official report on the causes of the financial crisis. Wallison, codirector of financial policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, argues that the FCICOs report fails to address the cause of the deterioration in mortgage underwriting standards that led to the housing bubble widely accepted as the key factor in destabilizing the American economy. Wallison's Dissent to the Majority Report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reveals that government-mandated subprime loans, not greedy investors, were the force behind the deterioration in underwriting standards. This dissent is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the causes of the financial crisis_and to prevent future economic collapse.

The Commission concluded that this crisis was avoidable. It found widespread failures in financial regulation; dramatic breakdowns...
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report
In the early 1930s, in the wake of the stock market crash of 1929 and start of the Great Depression, a U.S. Senate committee investigated the causes of that financial crisis, eventually releasing a report (known colloquially as the Pecora Report, after the committee's aggressive counsel Ferdinand Pecora) that set the standard for candid fact-telling and blunt analysis. The Pecora Report's conclusions led directly to the establishment of the Securities and Exchange Commission and much of the regulatory framework governing the U.S. banking system for the next sixty years. Beginning in the mid-1990s, with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall banking law, and into the first decade of the new century...

Warren Buffett's Interview with the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (Fcic)
In the revealing interview, Mr. Buffett discusses how he missed predicting the crisis and its effect on the financial system. He also shares thoughts on some of the main players, like Jamie Dimon and Ken Lewis; the logic behind the investments he made in late 2008, and how close the system came to collapse. He also talks about what he calls "the single most important decision in evaluating a business," his thoughts on the US dollar and Moody's, and why he sold Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
