Editorial Reviews
Ralph Nader, Public Citizen News Recommended Reading List
"Should be placed on the desk of every representative and senator before Congress takes final action on the latest ill-conceived deregulation scheme."

Davita Silfen Glasberg, Contemporary Sociology
"A wonderfully rich, detailed analysis of the savings and loan mess as organized crime (what they term collective embezzlement), offering clear and cogent insights into a very complicated saga."
