Who Runs Britain?: and Who's to Blame for the Economic Mess We're in |
|
 | Robert Pestons life long following of Britains financial system and his pesonal relationships built up during his journalistic career in both the Business and Financial sectors of large British Media Insitutions has placed him with a ring side seat at the global financial drama that has unfolded over the last 18 months. His written insights match his comprehensive news items. His explanations occasionally require a second reading to fully comprehend the complexity of each issue. Peston empathises with the confused and bewildered reader, letting them off the hook if they are struggling to comprehend the implications of the series of Government and Business decisions such as the pensions fiasco, large scale borrowing and the reselling of debt in the form of hedge funds, some of us refer to as gambling. It is not a book of hope of a promised land either for that matter. It does take a serious look at the super-rich and how they are able to extrapolate themselves from the normal redistribution of wealth that to which the rest of the middle and working class feel morally and legally obligated to contribute. Pestons intimate knowledge of the small band of people responsible for such a large scale scandal will leave you staggered and cynical. read more.
