Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives
Mar 24, 2018lukasevansherman rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
Pulitzer prize winning journalist Jesse Eisinger investigates the seemingly bland world of white collar/corporate crime, which the average person has become far more aware of since the financial crisis and Enron. The results-these guys (and it is almost always guys) are awful and rarely get punished-won't surprise anyone, but it's exhaustively researched and written in a way that is balanced, but also designed to provoke justifiable anger. The title comes from a speech that James Comey (yup, that James Comey) gave. For further reading there's "The Big Short," "Too Big to Fail," and "End This Depression Now."
