Geithner Defends Actions in New Book

Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, “whose time in Washington was often colored by accusations he was too close to Wall Street and did little to help Main Street, uses his 538-page book Stress Test to largely defend and explain the decisions he made during the financial crisis,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Writes Geithner: “The inconvenient truth of financial-crisis response is that the actions that feel right are often wrong.”
