Been traveling.
I've read:
Gloria Feldt's No Excuses. Gloria writes about women acquiring and exercising power more effectively.
Will Bunch's The Backlash. Will describes the uprising of the populist right.
Christine Richard's Confidence Game. The book uses the crusade of a hedge fund manager against bond "insurers" to illustrate how they and the ratings agencies enabled the banksters to engage in what can only be described as fraud.
