Doyle, L: In Bed with Wall Street

Autor Larry Doyle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 ian 2014

The Wall Street meltdown in 2008 brought the country to its knees, and spawned nationwide protests against the lack of regulation and oversight facing Wall Street. But the average American still fails to fully grasp what was - and still is - happening: that the inmates continue to run the asylum. Doyle has been tracking this story for years through his blog Sense on Cents, and exposes here how Wall Street, our politicians, and the regulators themselves have conspired for personal and industry-wide gains while failing to protect investors, consumers, and the American taxpayer. He details the corrupt nature of Wall Street’s financial police, who are little more than meter maids imposing fines that amount to nothing more than a slap on the wrist. He exposes the revolving door of Wall Street, wherein the regulators are all former or future employees of the very firms they’re tasked with overseeing, and how they routinely serve the interests of the industry itself rather than protecting investors and markets. Recent bombshells - such as multi-billion dollar trading losses at JP Morgan Chase, the manipulation of interest rates via the LIBOR scandal, and money laundering with North American drug cartels and rogue nations such as Iran - are symptomatic of this corrosive culture and the lack of trust and confidence in the system. As the big banks fight tooth and nail to avoid real reforms that would protect the economy, this book is a timely, important, and shocking look inside the Washington-Wall Street conspiracy crippling America and the global economy.

Caracteristici

Unaddresses fault lines in the international financial system: With the recent justice department rulings on HSBC and the LIBOR scandal, it's clear that Wall Street's responsibility in creating today's economic woes has been pushed to the sidelines. Doyle shows that not only is Wall Street still hurting everyday Americans with oppressive policies, but the continued lack of a truly independent regulatory body is recreating the conditions for another financial collapse
Far-reaching blog: Doyle's influential blog, Sense on Cents, has received close to 1 million visitors since its launch in January 2009. It's also syndicated on widely read sites like BusinessInsider (15.8 million unique visitors/month), Benzinga, and Daily Markets
Great media platform: Doyle is a contributing author at leading sites like Seeking Alpha, CNN/Fortune (14.6 million users), AllEconomists, ForexPros, and Wall Street Pitt. He has appeared on Fox Business News, CNBC, and Al Jazeera English, and his work has been featured in Bloomberg Businessweek,the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Sun-Times,the Financial Times, Forbes, the New York Daily News, the New York Post, and Yahoo! Finance. He also speaks regularly to universities across the country 
  Relevant to a global audience: Wall Street is home to the world's largest stock exchanges and its regulation has global implications, as we have all learned to our misfortunate. The examples Doyle uses stretch far beyond the shores of the US, meaning this book will have wide international appeal for those interested in global finance, economics and political corruption
