It Takes a Pillage
Behind the Bonuses, Bailouts and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street
Her books warned about the speculation, the dirty deals and the dangers inherent in the decline of regulation. A fellow with Demos think tank, Prins keeps tabs on the cost of the bailout to taxpayers and society at her website. And her new book, just out, has the best title and the best analysis of the meltdown and the raid on the Treasury that followed." - John Nichols, The Nation "Prins combines her insider information with her journalistic muscle to give readers a vivid portrait of what went wrong and who should be held responsible." - The Daily Beast "One problem financial journalists sometimes face is too little space to explain extremely complicated bailouts precisely. Some of these things need book-length treatment -- luckily Prins has just such a book." - Joshua Zumbrun, Forbes.com "Relative to the voices of the establishment, both in the political world and in the mainstream financial press, Prins is admirably clear and direct." - Matthew Yglesias, The American Prospect |
