Early Autumn 2008, post Labor Day the New York elitist Fashionistas and Wall Street Titans they love had no clue what was coming their way. THE RECESSIONISTAS by Alexandra Lebenthal ( no stranger to the New York social scene herself) paints a very vivid picture of the economic crash of 2008 with fabulous fashion references along with extensive financial explanations ( how "Hedge Funds" work, etc...) . This book has made me find interest in the whole Wall Street World ( Hedge Funds,Venture Capital,Private Equity, Stocks and Bonds etc....) because Lebenthal did an impeccable job teaching the reader the ins and outs of this field. It was a crash course to finance along with a sprinkle of W magazine with all the galas, and designer clad women who attended them . Being only her debut novel, I am thrilled to see what else Lebenthal has to offer us. This book was a great marriage between Finance and Fashion and also it was a modern refreshing take on the old tale of " cheaters never prosper" even if it takes a couple of years or months... You would certainly enjoy following these four socialites in this "reversal of fortune" tale.
