About the book
Joe Nocera investigates how the American financial industry transformed personal finance, expanding credit, investments, and banking products to the masses—and how this process concentrated power in the hands of Wall Street. The book traces the history from the 1950s, when investing was a privilege of the wealthy, to 2008, when deregulation and greed led to financial collapse.
With vigorous journalistic narrative, Nocera reveals the unintended consequences of policies that aimed to democratize finance. An incisive critique of how the modern financial system developed and who really profits from the 'democratization' of credit and investment.
