Description: "Financial firms and money managers have complicated the investing process to keep us in the dark, profiting from our ignorance.... Without our knowledge or consent, our money is diverted into the pockets of CEOs and misappropriated, promoting business practices that contribute to economic inequality, political dysfunction, and environmental woe.... Monks teaches us how to take back ownership and control of our money."--From the publisher.
