A vividly told chronicle of how greed bred America’s household ills over the last forty years, and of the men ut~ responsible for them.
As Jeff Madrick makes pure in a narrative at once unqualified, fast-paced, and incisive, the particular-minded pursuit of huge personal affluence has been on the rise in the United States subsequently to the 1970s, led by a few individuals who have argued that self-interest guides society more effectively than common concerns. These stewards of American capitalism gain insisted on the central and vital place of accumulated wealth through the booms, busts, and recessions of the the ~ time half century, giving rise to our current woes.
