WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE BIG BANKS THAT FAIL?
ANTITRUST
1)Lawrence Goodwyn’s “The Populist Moment: A Short History of the Agrarian Revolt in America,” one of the truly great works of American history and how to build a foundation for 20th century American political economy.
2)William Greider’s “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country,” picks up where Goodwyn’s left off. An essential read in understanding money, banking and finance in the 20th century.
3)Kevin Phillips’ “Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism,” begins where “Secrets” ends and is just a wonderful history of the last 30 years and the machinations of our financial masters of the universe and our subservient government officials.
