About NOMI PRINS

 

Nomi Prins's explosive new account of the hundred-year symbiosis between the White House and Wall Street transcends the simple, widely-accepted notions of money driving politics, greed driving bankers, or bankers controlling governments..  She presents a fascinating historical narrative of how a select group of the same players recycled their influence for decades through Wall Street and Washington, and  delineates how key bankers from J.P. Morgan to David Rockefeller to Jamie Dimon partnered with presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Barack Obama to transform the American economy and government, dictate foreign and domestic policy, and shape world history.

 

Based on her extensive research across the country, investigating original presidential archival documents, Prins unravels the multi-generational relationships-fostered at family gatherings, elite colleges, and exclusive

 

Prins divulges how, through the Cold War and Vietnam era, presidents and bankers pushed American expansion abroad, while promoting social welfare at home. But starting in the 1970s, their goals diverged. Bankers no longer required validation from the Oval Office or allegiance to a public good. This loyalty shift, coupled with more complex global markets, proved disastrous for citizens as presidents lost control over the economy, culminating in the financial crisis of 2008.

 

Nomi Prins is a journalist, speaker, respected TV and radio commentator, and former Wall Street executive. Author of five other books, including Other People's Money and It Takes a Pillage, her writing has also been featured in theNew York Times, Fortune, Mother Jones, the Guardian, the Nation, and other publications. She is a senior fellow at Demos.

 

 

 

"The relationship between Washington and Wall Street isn't really a revolving door. It's a merry-go-round. And, as Prins shows, the merriest of all are the bankers and financiers that get rich off the relationship, using their public offices and access to build private wealth and power. Disturbing and important."

-Robert B. Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley
