Rarely have I found a non-fiction book that is a page-turner, but the book A Capitalist’s Lament: How Wall Street Is Fleecing You and Ruining America
Don’t get the author wrong. He is not anti-capitalist, he is what I would call pro-moral capitalist (which is also how I would describe myself, by the way). He is just bringing to light all the ways that the average person is being taken advantage of, on a financial basis.
Although I am familiar with what he covers on a general basis, the author covers the specifics, everything from over charging to fraud. For example, Chapter 2, called Big Is Not Beautiful, is significantly devoted to Goldman Sachs. He points out 37 different instances of fines, security violations, and other issues of the firm.
Examples of some of the chapters that I found the most interesting are:
Fees and Sleaze: Welcome to the World of Hedge Funds
Stupid Predictions and Constant Hype
Myopia: Short Term Trading
Leveraging Yourself to Death
Fortunately, Faust has a resolution, which he covers in the last chapter, Protecting Yourself and Fixing the Wall Street Mess. If you are looking for a great Wall Street expose, I highly recommend A Capitalist’s Lament: How Wall Street Is Fleecing You and Ruining America
Another thing I’ve really noticed is the fact for many people, bad credit is the results of circumstances past their control. For instance they may be really saddled with illness so they have higher bills going to collections. It might be due to a occupation loss or the inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce or separation can really send the funds in the wrong direction. Thanks sharing your opinions on this web site.
