Popis knihy

Voted one of the Best Books of 2016 by the Financial Times and one of the best books of the year by Bloomberg BusinessWeek. A well-told exploration of why our current economy is leaving too many behind. - The New York Times A masterly account of the disproportionate power that the financial sector exercises in the economy and the disastrous consequences this has for society as a whole. - Forbes.com A credible explanation for the rise of economic populism in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. Anyone seeking to truly understand the resonance of the anti-Wall Street vitriol of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump could do worse than to start here. -Fortune.com Foroohar demystifies the decline in America's economic prominence, showing that the competitive threats came not from the outside-migration or China-but from within our borders. She explains how finance has permeated every aspect of our economic and political life, and how those who caused the financial crisis wound up benefiting from it. -Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel laureate in economics and former head of the Council of Economic Advisors A fast-paced, exciting, and well-researched tale that brings alive the shady dealings that have been part of the recent rise of finance (the takers). Wall Street has prospered beyond measure by consuming far too much of the value created by the real economy (the makers). Readers will be shocked by the shenanigans that are revealed, and then eager to help fix what has been so badly broken. It's up to us-all of us. - John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO, Vanguard In this well-written, refreshing, and provocative book, Rana Foroohar analyzes how Wall Street went from an enabler of prosperity to a headwind to growth and a contributor to inequality. This engaging analysis identifies five key policy areas that will rightly be the subject of debate and, hopefully, some political action. This is a must-read for those looking to better understand how, why, and when financial engineering went too far, and what to do about it. - Mohamed A. El-Erian, chief economic adviser, Allianz; former CEO, PIMCO From the leading edge of business journalism, Rana Foroohar has produced a powerful book about how financial manipulation has spread beyond the financial sector itself to colonize the American economy, to the enormous detriment of real, productive activities. By mapping the rise of financialization and its effects, Foroohar sheds light on almost everything we now see, from the inequality debate to presidential politics to America's global competitiveness. A phenomenal achievement. -Charles Ferguson, producer, Inside Job As the next US election looms, one of the most important questions that voters will need to ask is what is wrong with the American economy-and what can be done to fix it. Foroohar's book is required reading for this. With deft storytelling and clear analysis, she explains how America's economy has become stealthily financialized-and why this process has been so debilitating for American growth, not to mention the lives of ordinary people. The 2008 financial crisis was one sign of this; however, the issues have not ended there. Foroohar not only argues that it is crucial that America tackle these woes but offers commonsense solutions for doing so. Politicians-and voters-should take note. -Gillian Tett, US managing editor, Financial Times, author of The Silo Effect There is no bigger question in public policy than whether the emergence of an ever-larger financial sector has made for a smaller and less equal society. Makers and Takers provides an intellectually compelling, and beautifully written, answer to that question, one which policy makers cannot and should not duck. -Andy Haldane, chief economist and executive director of monetary analysis and statistics at the Bank of England Rana Foroohar offers a sometimes maddening, thoroughly fascinating look at the financial sector's outsized rol
