　　Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is

still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger,

more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever.

Anchored by six megabanks—Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase,

Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley—which

together control assets amounting, astonishingly, to more than 60

percent of the country’s gross domestic product, these financial

institutions (now more emphatically “too big to fail”) continue to

hold the global economy hostage, threatening yet another financial

meltdown with their excessive risk-taking and toxic “business as

usual” practices. How did this come to be—and what is to be done?

These are the central concerns of 13 Bankers, a brilliant,

historically informed account of our troubled political

economy.

In 13 Bankers, Simon Johnson—one of the most prominent and

frequently cited economists in America (former chief economist of

the International Monetary Fund, Professor of Entrepreneurship at

MIT, and author of the controversial “The Quiet Coup” in The

Atlantic)—and James Kwak give a wide-ranging, meticulous, and

bracing account of recent U.S. financial history within the context

of previous showdowns between American democracy and Big Finance:

from Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Jackson, from Theodore Roosevelt to

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They convincingly show why our future is

imperiled by the ideology of finance (finance is good, unregulated

finance is better, unfettered finance run amok is best) and by Wall

Street’s political control of government policy pertaining to

it.

As the authors insist, the choice that America faces is stark:

whether Washington will accede to the vested interests of an

unbridled financial sector that runs up profits in good years and

dumps its losses on taxpayers in lean years, or reform through

stringent regulation the banking system as first and foremost an

engine of economic growth. To restore health and balance to our

economy, Johnson and Kwak make a radical yet feasible and focused

proposal: reconfigure the megabanks to be “small enough to

fail.”　

Lucid, authoritative, crucial for its timeliness, 13 Bankers is

certain to be one of the most discussed and debated books of

2010.

书籍介绍

Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks—Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley—which together control assets amounting, astonishingly, to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, these financial institutions (now more emphatically “too big to fail”) continue to hold the global economy hostage, threatening yet another financial meltdown with their excessive risk-taking and toxic “business as usual” practices. How did this come to be—and what is to be done? These are the central concerns of 13 Bankers, a brilliant, historically informed account of our troubled political economy.

In 13 Bankers, Simon Johnson—one of the most prominent and frequently cited economists in America (former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT, and author of the controversial “The Quiet Coup” in The Atlantic )—and James Kwak give a wide-ranging, meticulous, and bracing account of recent U.S. financial history within the context of previous showdowns between American democracy and Big Finance: from Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Jackson, from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They convincingly show why our future is imperiled by the ideology of finance (finance is good, unregulated finance is better, unfettered finance run amok is best) and by Wall Street’s political control of government policy pertaining to it.

As the authors insist, the choice that America faces is stark: whether Washington will accede to the vested interests of an unbridled financial sector that runs up profits in good years and dumps its losses on taxpayers in lean years, or reform through stringent regulation the banking system as first and foremost an engine of economic growth. To restore health and balance to our economy, Johnson and Kwak make a radical yet feasible and focused proposal: reconfigure the megabanks to be “small enough to fail.”
