All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis is a nonfiction book by authors Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera about the 2008 financial crisis.[1] It details how the financial crisis bubbled up from a volatile, and bipartisan, mixture of government meddling and laissez-faire. It concludes that the episode was not an accident, and that banks understood the big picture before the crisis happened but continued with bad practices nevertheless.
The title
[edit]The title of the book comes from William Shakespeare's play The Tempest, in which he wrote "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here".
