Wall Street Grifters

Matt Taibbi is perhaps our most audacious financial journalist. In referring to Goldman Sachs as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity" he set a new bar in 21st century financial journalism. Now in his book Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America he looks at the winners and losers in the current financial shell game what what impact their actions have had on us, our neighbors and our future.
