Griftopia

Griftopia: Bubble machines, vampire squids an the long con that is breaking America by Matt Taibbi 250 pgs.

Matt Taibbi has become one of those authors I will not miss. This is his take on the economic collapse and a little bit more. I've read enough on this topic that most of the revelations aren't that new to me but wonder how things could just get so out of hand. Matt has a theory and a chapter entitled "the biggest asshole in the universe" which is about Alan Greenspan. I certainly see his point but the universe is really so large...that is probably the only part that he has exaggerated a tad. Anyway, this is another book that should make you angry and make you wonder if there is any chance that we the people are ever going to be represented in Washington D.C. again. I mean we the people who are not the heads of huge banking firms or billionaires or all about ripping off the taxpayers. Anger inducing indeed. - Christa
