Economic and Financial Decisions under Risk Book

After approximately ONE MILLION YEARS I have finally finished reading this book! I read the first third over the period of like, a year and a half and then finished off the last two-thirds between yesterday and today. It's a fairly gripping read and does a great job conveying exactly how ludicrous the 24 hour business news cycle can be and considering journalist ethics with a very real meter of stock prices rising or dipping based on single reports. That being said, this book felt very distracting for much of it--namely that I could not even begin to keep straight the cast of so many anchors and CEOs or executives at each media company. I could get a sense of how big some of these personalities were but mostly this book felt like it tried to cram too much narrative and stories into poorly organized sections that were only vaguely chronological. Nonetheless, I'm glad I read this book as it gave me a better context for the late 1990s/early 2000s and some of the financial stuff that was going on with my parents.
