The Great American StickupHow Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street
"One of the best reporters of our time."—Joan Didion In The Great American Stickup, celebrated journalist Robert Scheer uncovers the hidden story behind one of the greatest financial crimes of our time: the Wall Street financial crash of 2008 and the consequent global recession. Scheer goes back to Washington, D.C., a veritable crime scene, beginning in the 1980s, where the captains of the finance industry, their lobbyists and allies among leading politicians destroyed an American regulatory system that had been functioning effectively since the era of the New Deal. Check out Scheer's book tour!
