Paulson´s Insider-Blick auf die Krise

NEW YORK — A book coming this fall will offer one of the ultimate inside takes on the economic crisis — from former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson.

"I didn't come to Washington thinking I was going to leave and write a book, but this period was so significant and there are so many insights and so many lessons learned that I think an understanding of this extraordinary period is important," Paulson said Wednesday from his office at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

The book, currently untitled, will be released in October by Business Plus, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing and the Hachette Book Group (USA). Paulson, a former chairman and chief executive of Goldman Sachs, is not writing for money. He will donate all profits to the nonprofit Homeownership Preservation Foundation, which helps families in danger of foreclosure. Hillel Italie, The Associated Press
