Summary
"At a time when there is growing debate about proposals to privatize programs like Social Security and to promote an "ownership society," Pump and Dump offers a path-breaking analysis of America's most urgent economic problem: a system that relies on self-regulation and the rancid politics that continue to support the short-term interests of financial elites over the long-term interests of most Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
