All the Presidents' Bankers: The Hidden Alliances that Drive American Power by Nomi Prins

4.0

A bit of a slog to read but the information contained in this book should be realized by all Americans. It tells us how we got to the present omnipotence of the Big Banks - how each administration from T. Roosevelt and beyond bowed at least in part and at most nearly completely to the will of the bankers, corporations, and Wall Street until we arrived at "too big to fail." The scourge of the corporate banking community runs roughshod not only over the US economy and policy making, but has wreaked havoc worldwide, particularly in Latin America. A good companion piece to the eye-opening (and more compellingly written) Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, if you wish to torture yourself with outrage.
