Their unrivaled skills and mutual trust allowed them to devise on-the-fly strategies to stop a run on the global financial system &#8211; but they had to convince President Bush and a reluctant Congress to give them the money and authority to act. &#8220;I was unhappy about it,&#8221; says Bush. &#8220;I was a free marketer&#8230; But Hank is a persuasive guy. And I trusted him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THE PANIC ARTISTS reveals: the military-style takedown of politically powerful mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the backroom negotiations that led to hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money being given to the financial institutions that sparked the crisis; the disastrous decision not to bail out Lehman Brothers, which Rahm Emanuel called &#8220;one of the most colossal mistakes ever&#8221;; and the high-stakes drama of the 2008 presidential campaign, when the remarks of either Barack Obama or John McCain could have sent the stock market into an immediate tailspin.<\/p>\n<p>The hundreds of billions loaned to Wall Street were repaid with interest and the economy recovered relatively quickly. But as successful as the trio may have been in preventing global economic disaster, they ultimately failed in the court of public opinion. Many wonder if the financial crisis and the efforts to lessen it ignited the populist wave across the country and the world that still resonates powerfully today.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2616261997\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4607\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/vice-room-11-17-2018-1035-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VICE SPECIAL REPORT: THE PANIC ARTISTS offers a first-of-its-kind account of the crisis.
