The Payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins by Jeff Connaughton

5.0

When I started this book I had little faith in my ability to finish it. The subject is complex and not exactly edge of your seat, but somehow Connaughton manages to give a compelling account of the inter connectedness of Wall Street and Washington.
The narrative is a bit weird and non-linear, jumping backwards or forwards from chapter to chapter. Ted Kauffman is the hero of the story and following his battles kept me going even as I struggled to make sense of some of the more technical parts.
