Description

A brilliantly illuminating and darkly comic tale of the ongoing financial and political crisis in America
 
The financial crisis that exploded in 2008 isn’t past but prologue. The grifter class—made up of the largest players in the financial industry and the politicians who do their bidding—has been growing in power, and the crisis used to be only one terrifying manifestation of how they’ve hijacked The us’s political and economic life.

Matt Taibbi has combined deep sources, trailblazing reportage, and provocative analysis to create probably the most lucid, emotionally galvanizing account yet written of this ongoing American crisis. He offers fresh reporting at the backroom deals of the bailout; tells the story of Goldman Sachs, the “vampire squid wrapped across the face of humanity”; and uncovers the hidden commodities bubble that transferred billions of dollars to Wall Street at the same time as creating food shortages around the globe.

This is very important reading for somebody who wants to take note the labyrinthine inner workings of this country, and the profound consequences for us all.
