How would you like to ruin your whole day . . . week . . . month??
Want to read something that will piss you off like never before?
Want to read something that will make you want to drag a guillotine to Wall Street?
Here it is:
The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America, by George Packer. Available in hardback, paperback, Kindle; new or used.
Packer is a staff writer for the New Yorker who hit a home run with this one. He profiles real people from Elizabeth Warren to a lobbyist to couples who barely hang on to a lawyer who saw through the foreclosure bullshit.
This is NOT an encouraging book. Quite the contrary. It will leave you feeling empty and discouraged and angry enough to DO SOMETHING. If I could only figure out what.
