Description

Based on explosive interviews, court documents and corporate archives, Inside Job traces in gripping detail how decades of deregulation gave birth to a predator nation, with power players cycling through positions in government, academia and Wall Street - and continuing to do so even in the wake of the global financial crisis. With stunning clarity, Charles Ferguson delivers an uncompromising accounting of how a new economic oligarchy has wrested control of our politics and the prospects for real recovery.

I liked the film, and the book is even better... you have to read this book.' * Financial Times * 'A fierce indictment.' * Nouriel Roubini - Professor at New York University and author of Crisis Economics * 'This take-no-prisoners account of the financial crisis follows the money, connects the dots, names names....' -- Arianna Huffington * Huffington Post * 'He's clever, he's funny, he doesn't pull punches... If only righteous fury were always this enjoyable.' * Guardian * 'One of the outstanding journalistic achievements of the past decade.' * Daily Mail on the film Inside Job * 'Ferguson presents a fierce indictment of predatory activities of parts of the financial system and of the corruption of democracy that 'big money' financial lobbying has caused.
