13 Bankers by Simon Johnson
The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown
A clear, historically grounded critique of how the growing political power and concentration of the largest financial institutions set the stage for the 2008 crisis and continue to threaten stability. It traces the long, uneasy alliance between finance and government, arguing the country has drifted toward a financial oligarchy in which a few too-big-to-fail firms wield outsized influence. Explaining the mechanics of the meltdown and the policy responses that entrenched the status quo, it advocates bold reforms—such as breaking up mega-banks and tightening oversight—to curb systemic risk and protect democracy.
