He explores the Federal Reserve System and the consequences of the Fed's actions on the overall economy. But this book is not just about the past.

This is the true crime story of how an old Marine was robbed by his banker at the point of a pen.

Instead of going where other journalists have gone in search of this story - the board rooms and trading floors of the big Wall Street firms - Scheer goes back to Washington, D.C., a veritable crime scene, beginning in the 1980s, where the captains of the finance industry, their lobbyists and allies among leading politicians destroyed an American regulatory system that had been functioning effectively since the era of the New Deal.

What is the arrogance cycle? We've just lived through it. As market bubbles build, our confidence level rises (dis)proportionately. Everyone wants in on the action. We want to believe Wall Street, and once we do, the inevitable happens. Like Dr. Frankenstein breathing life into inanimate flesh, investment professionals sought ever more novel ways to create wealth. The only problem was that it was all artificial.

The casino was alive and well in Will Roger's time. It was called Wall Street then as well. But mainstream media allowed for the total exposure of the criminal greed of the Street. Bankers were determined not to allow that mistake to rain on their next financial orgy, so that Will Rogers would have had no voice in the days of the ponzi housing bubble and subsequent crash. Things are different now, and mainstreet is even more vulnerable than in the roaring twenties.

Der Suizid des Risikokapitalisten Bill Broeksmit gibt bis heute Rätsel auf. Warum erhängte sich der Topmanager der Deutschen Bank Anfang 2014? War er ein Mann, der zu viel wusste? Der preisgekrönte Finanzjournalist David Enrich begibt sich auf die Suche nach Antworten und zeichnet dabei schonungslos die Spur der Verwüstung nach, die die Bank während ihres 150-jährigen Bestehens hinterlassen hat: von ihrer Rolle im Dritten Reich, Marktmanipulationen, Insidergeschäften über ihre Beziehung zu Jeffrey Epstein und russischen Oligarchen bis hin zu mehr als zweifelhaften Krediten für Donald Trump und anderen unglaublichen Machenschaften.

Wer träumt nicht davon mit 30 oder 40 frühzeitig in den Ruhestand zu gehen und der täglichen Tretmühle den Rücken zuzukehren? Da hilft ein Lottogewinn- doch die Wahrscheinlichkeit liegt leider irgendwo zwischen der von einem Blitz getroffen oder einem Meteoriten erschlagen zu werden. Oder man folgt einem neuen Minimalismus, befreit sich von den Zwängen des Konsumterrors und erreicht finanzielle Unabhängigkeit - und kommt dann mit dem aus, was man hat.

Race for Profit uncovers how exploitative real estate practices continued well after housing discrimination was banned. The same racist structures and individuals remained intact after redlining's end, and close relationships between regulators and the industry created incentives to ignore improprieties.

Author David Rouch argues that what it reveals contrasts sharply with the usual portrayals of markets as places of unrestrained financial self-interest.
