Age Of Greed: The Triumph Of Finance And The Decline Of America, 1970 To The Present- By Jeff Madrick
A vividly told history of how greed bred America ’s economic
ills over the last forty years, and of the men most responsible
for them.
As Jeff Madrick makes clear in a narrative at once sweeping, fast-paced, and incisive, the single-minded pursuit of huge personal wealth has been on the rise in the United States since the 1970s, led by a few individuals who have argued that self-interest guides society
more effectively than
community concerns. These stewards of American capitalism have insisted on the
central and essential place of accumulated wealth through the booms, busts, and recessions of the last half century, giving rise to our current woes.
In telling the stories of these politicians, economists, and
financiers who declared a moral
battle for freedom but instead gave rise to an age of greed, Madrick traces the lineage of some of our nation’s most
pressing economic problems. He begins with Walter Wriston,
head of what would become Citicorp, who led the battle against government regulation.
He examines the ideas of economist Milton Friedman, who created the plan for an anti-Rooseveltian America; the politically expedient decisions of Richard Nixon that fueled inflation; the philosophy of Alan Greenspan, on whose
libertarian ideology a house of cards was built on Wall Street;
and the actions of Sandy Weill, who constructed the largest financial institution in the world, which would have gone bankrupt in 2008 without a
federal bailout of $45 billion.
Significant figures including Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Jack
Welch, and Ronald Reagan play key roles as well.
Intense economic inequity and instability is the story of our age, and Jeff Madrick tells it with style, clarity, and an
unerring command of his subject.
