Reviews
Jeff Madrick has written one of those rare, wonderful books that allow us to understand a huge and important historical development that we may not have realized was a coherent and coordinated series of events. Madrick's account of Alan Greenspan's ideologically-driven mistakes alone is worth the price of admission, but it is but one course in a feast of wonderful reporting and writing. If you want to know what has happened to your country, read this book. -Robert G. Kaiser, author of So Damn Much Money: The Triumph of Lobbying and the Corrosion of American Government<br> <br> Jeff Madrick's devastating biography of greed is rife with carefully documented cautionary tales of the rich, greedy and unregulated, which collectively constitute the definitive answer to Milton Friedmanesque laissez faire economics. -Victor Navasky, author of Kennedy Justice<br> <br> Honore de Balzac wrote long ago that behind every great fortune lies a great crime. Now in Jeff Madrick's important new book
