Bair’s book, Bull by the Horns: Fighting to Save Main Street from Wall Street and Wall Street from Itself, was released in late September. As part of the promotion of the book she had an interview with The Wall Street Journal during which, consistent with her public reputation, she confided that she ‘hates bailouts.’ However, a careful study of board minutes, supporting memos, and transcripts of FDIC board meetings during the crisis reveals a different reality.”
