Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America

Griftopia coverGriftopia, Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi’s book-length rant against Wall Street’s greed can be quite entertaining and is occasionally enlightening.

One of the book’s early chapters, entitled “The Biggest A**hole in the Universe,” provide the author’s (rather strong) views on Alan Greenspan.  Goldman Sachs wears the “bull’s eye” for much of the book, but he still find time to complain about the failure of Democrats to truly reform the nation’s health care system.

All in all, if you are looking for good information and deep insights into the 2008 financial implosion, I recommend Broke, U.S.A. and The Big Short.
