Book Overview: Bill Black has detailed an alarming story about financial and political corruption...the lessons are as fresh as the morning newspaper. One of those lessons really sticks out: one brave man with a conscience could stand up for us all. -- Paul Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve

Media Reviews
Persons interested in the economics of fraud, the S&L debacle, the problems of financial regulation, and microeconomics more broadly will find this book to be very important. It is a marvelous combination of insider experiences, well-grounded generalizations, and the foundations of a broader research agenda. It merits a wide readership and, one hopes, sustained reflection on its arguments and conclusions. -- Robert E. Prasch Journal of Economic Issues
