The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One: How Corporate Executives and Politicians Looted the S&L Industry
Persons interested in the economics of fraud, the S&L; debacle, the problems of financial regulation, and microeconomics more broadly will find this book to be very important.  It is a marvelous combination of insider experiences, well-grounded generalizations, and the foundations of a broader research agenda.  It merits a wide readership and, one hopes, sustained reflection on its arguments and conclusions. (Robert E. PraschJournal of Economic Issues2006-09-00)
