"Having been at Goldman Sachs, Nomi Prins knows how to read spreadsheets, knows the people, and knows Wall Street's games. Nomi knows and now Nomi tells."
Jim Hightower, Author, Swim Against the Current
"No one takes Wall Street to task like Nomi Prins. But this book is far more than a pointed attack on how greed and bad regulation created a global economic meltdown-it also offers concrete prescriptions for how to prevent the next crisis. Let's hope Washington is listening."
James Ledbetter, Editor, The Big Money
"Nomi Prins has applied her unmatched expertise in Wall Street's arcane methods of turning your money into their bonuses to mapping the recent crisis. In compelling, scathing prose, she shows how the key players escaped being brought to account, and kept their pet officials in power."
John Dizard, The Financial Times

Jacked: How "Conservatives" Are Picking Your Pocket (Whether You Voted for Them or Not)
