by Edward Jay Epstein (Author)
In 2008, the world's economy was nearly destroyed. Was this the work of a giant conspiracy of the new political-financial complex? Who rules the world of money? Edward Jay Epstein investigates the strange, perverse universe of money, greed, and power in six original essays. In exploring the demons and demonology of high finance, Epstein paid a visit to the inner sanctum of the secretive Bank of International Settlements, visited the gold vault at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, attended Mike Milken's junk bond conference and Bungalow Eight party, and gained access to the trading floor at Lehman and Goldman. In this extraordinary book, we learn about: + Goldman Sach's role in the great credit bubble of 2008 ...+ How Mike Milken forever changed the financial landscape ...+ How the Swiss Gnomes in Basel run a money club for Central bankers...+ How the Pied Piper of Yale revolutionized endowment funds...+ Why The United States may become the next Japan.+ Why Hollywood sees Wall Street as evil.+ The Sham Prosecution of Steven A. Cohen..
