Cannibal Capitalism (ePub)

An unbiased look at how the economic practices of corporations,
leaders, and government are severely damaging the American way of
life

Most of us have lived our lives by the rules--going to
school, investing in real estate, and building careers--but
the so-called Great Recession has changed everything. Cannibal
Capitalism: How Big Business and the Feds Are Ruining America
answers the questions on everyone's lips; what happened and where
do we go from here?

Unlike in most other recent instances of financial turbulence,
when this crisis hit, the country turned on itself economically,
with the powerhouses--corporations, business leaders, and
government--throwing the everyman under the bus. In an effort
to avoid becoming slightly less rich, the super-rich effectively
cannibalized the true engines of growth in the economy, in the
process putting the bottom ninety-nine percent of the population at
serious risk of losing everything. Cannibal Capitalism
fights back, arguing that to really recover we need to educate our
children, invest in our small businesses, use our inflated money to
develop real things that build real wealth, and get back to
exporting in a big way.

industry consolidation, anticompetitive business practices,

* Examines the financial crisis and its fallout in a clear,
no-nonsense way

* Explains what we can do to fix a broken system and come out on
top

The economic crisis rocking the foundations of the international
financial system has had a disproportionately devastating affect on
the average person. Angry, afraid, and confused, regular people are
looking for answers and Cannibal Capitalism is here to help,
illustrating how the super-rich did everything in their power to
stay safe at the expense of everyone else.
