5.0 out of 5 stars What to know about the current financialization of our
Democracy, August 22, 2013
By Agnes Woolsey

This review is from: Griftopia: A Story of Bankers, Politicians, and the
Most Audacious Power Grab in American History (Paperback)

Matt Taibbi writes in plain conversational style how the banking cartel
and Congress have changed government into financial games and explains
terms like Securitization, Credit Default Swaps, Collateralized Debt
Obligations and Derivatives. Did you know the price of oil and gas is
based speculation in the Commodities Futures Market and not on the
available supplies of oil and gas.

It's an eye opener by a real investigative journalist.
