On Michiko Kakutani's Top Ten List

There’s a good reason why the three daily book critics for The New York Times don’t make 10-best lists at the end of the year: we can’t. None of us has read everything. Our reviewing assignments don’t overlap. None of us has an objective overview of the year’s best and most important books, but this is what we do have: favorites. They are books we have not only admired in the abstract but also enjoyed, recommended and given to friends.

'In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke's War on the Great Panic'

By DAVID WESSEL

A lucid -- and riveting -- account of the financial meltdown of 2008 and the frantic efforts of the Fed chairman, the Treasury Secretary and a small group of associates to shore up the U.S. economy, as they tired to catch and stabilize one toppling fiscal domino after the next. (Crown Business, $26.99)
