Reddit mentions of The Bankers' New Clothes: What's Wrong with Banking and What to Do about It - Updated Edition

Why rely on someone on reddit summing it up? There are a lot of great sources out there for relatively laypeople. It's not a massive commitment to get through one or two of the following books that look at different parts of the collapse by actual experts. Here are a few off the top of my head:

• After the Music Stopped
  
  
• The Alchemists (Likely my favorite of the group. Goes into detail about the Central Banks' responses)
  
  
• The Bankers New Clothes
  
  
• Fool's Gold
  
  
• The Big Short
  
  
• House of Cards
  
  Edit: I'm not saying /u/swiftouch1 is wrong, but it's a lot of oversimplifying. You can't actually do justice to the events in a single reddit comment.
