Bailout

Um livro de um insider sobre o Bailout Americano e uma lição porque não se deve doar dinheiro do contribuinte, através de um governo incompetente, para empresas que fazem de maus negócios um empreendimento para extrair mais dinheiro do contribuinte: Bailout has its first paperback release this week, and Barofsky accordingly is making the media rounds (check out Comedy Central tomorrow), where he'll mainly be asked about the political revelations in the book. You know, the inside-baseball stories of how the officials who administered the TARP bailout fought transparency at every turn, failed to do due diligence on the health and viability of bailout recipients, seemed totally uninterested in creating safeguards against fraud, and generally speaking spent more time bitching about the media and plotting against the likes of Elizabeth Warren and, eventually, Barofsky himself than making sure the largest federal rescue in history wasn't a complete waste of money.
