A critical look at over 80 years of conflict, collusion, and
corruption between financiers and politicians
Undue Influence paints a vivid portrait of the dealings between
"the few," in this case members of Congress, the banking community,
and the Fed, and sheds light on how radical new deregulatory
measures could be introduced by unelected officials and then
foisted upon Congress in the name of progress. In the process, the
background of the new financial elite is examined-because they are
markedly different than their predecessors of the 1920s and 1930s.
Undue Influence also brings readers up to speed on other important
issues, including how the financial elite has been able to
perpetuate itself, how the markets lend themselves to these special
interest groups, and how it is possible that after 80 years of
financial regulation and regulatory bodies the same problems of
financial malfeasance and fraud still plague the markets.
