Summary:
Culled from original presidential archival files, All of the Presidents’ Bankers provides an explosive account from the hundred-year interdependence between the White Home and Wall Street that transcends a simple analysis of money generating politics-or greed driving bankers.
Nomi Prins ushers us into the intimate world of exclusive clubs, vacation spots, and Ivy Group universities that binds presidents and financiers. She unravels the multi-generational blood, intermarriage, and protege human relationships that have confined national influence to a privileged cluster of people.
This unprecedented history of American power illuminates how financiers have retained their authoritative position through history, swaying presidents no matter party affiliation. It explores the alarming global repercussions of something lacking obstacles between public workplace and personal power. Prins leaves us with an ominous choice: either we break the alliances of the power elite, or they will break us.
