Makers and Takers

This book delves into the financial practices and philosophies that led to the 2008 market crash and how they continue to affect our system today. The author, Rana Foroohar, shows how finance has become the dominant force in America, widening the wealth gap and putting us on a dangerous path. She reveals the alarming fact that only 15% of money in our market system ends up in the real economy, and how financial regulations have yet to be fully implemented. Foroohar offers a solution by addressing the need for long-term job creation over short-term gain. Through fascinating stories, she shows how we can create a more sustainable economic future.
