Praise for Bad Money
“Kevin Phillips’ new book, Bad Money: Reckless Finance, FailedPolitics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism, would besobering enough if it were the first we’d ever heard from him. When youtake into account how often he’s been right in the past, thisfourteenth volume in his continuing commentary on the Americancondition becomes positively alarming.” —Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times
“Bad Money is a short book by a practiced artist who specializes inidentifying the defining trends of American life. Here Kevin Phillipstakes on financial practice in the age of Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson,and the global rule of Goldman Sachs. It’s not meant to be pretty andit isn’t. . . . This is an important book. It ranges with stunningclarity over terrain that most political writing, including that of themost prominent voice of the American left, simply ignores.”
—James K. Galbraith, The Texas Observer
“At a time when the Cassandras of finances are looking like realists,there is no gloomier prophet than Kevin Phillips. The author ofthirteen previous books, including at least one classic, The EmergingRepublican Majority, Mr. Phillips sees a perfect economic storm coming.. . . His warnings have to be taken seriously.”
—Barry Gewen, The New York Times
“A financial policy horror story . . . Kevin Phillips, right so oftenbefore, castigates both parties for bad times.” —The PhiladelphiaInquirer
“Comes now Kevin Phillips, mighty sage of the political economy, thatgray area spanning elections, growth and geography, to condemn thefinancial services industry. With a recession at the gates, Phillips’sprevious record as Republican strategist turned skeptic gives Bad Moneythe gravity sure to guide the conversation about what is to be done.”—Ross Kerber, The Boston Globe
“A pretty grim portrait of the fi nancial services sector and itspresent role in the American economy.” —Tom Acitelli, The New YorkObserver
“His book provides a primer in economics, details but not dull,accessible to the uninitiated and useful to the already well-informed.. . . His brief against the risky gambits of the venal center inAmerican politics and finance is provocative, and perhaps prescient.”
—Glenn Altschuler, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“This book represents a terrific start on understanding the interplaybetween past policy, current risk, energy and investments. Without suchclear-eyed explanation and thinking, it’s hard to see how we’re goingto move ahead and find solutions in the hard times that seeminevitable.” —Susan Gardner, The Daily Kos
