Nomi Prins' "It Takes a Pillage" should be required reading for all US citizens.
It explains in clear, terse prose what Wall Street did to blow up the US economy -- run up wild debts, polarize incomes, gamble like there was no tomorrow, and pay regulators to look the other way, until the house of credit cards collapsed -- and how they've bought off the politicians of both parties in Washington DC.
Prins also has this indispensable running tally of the total cost of the bailout. Hint: it's bigger than you think.
