Now, in his most significant and timely book yet, Phillips takes the full measure of this crisis. They are a part of what he calls \"bad money\"- not just the depreciated dollar, but also the dangerous attitudes and the flawed products of wayward mega-finance. His devastating conclusion: In its hubris, the financial sector has hijacked the American economy and put our very global future at risk-and it may be too late to stop it.\"A harrowing picture of national danger that no American reader will welcome, but that none should ignore. . . . Frighteningly persuasive.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Alan Brinkley, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"An indispensable presentation of the case against things as they are.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Sobering . . . positively alarming.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003eKevin Phillips has been a political and economic commentator for more than three decades.
