An on-the-ground, intimate tour of the human toll of the nation's foreclosure crisisWhile working with his father's small company that "trashes out"â enters and emptiesâforeclosed homes in Florida, Paul Reyes wrote Exiles in Eden, a hard-hitting, personal, and poetic portrayal of his own family and the people and communities affected by the foreclosure crisis. Grounded in Florida and Reyes family history, and with character-driven visits to the dark corners of this crisisâincluding with those who are calling for revolutionâReyes explores the human element of this frightening rattling of the American Dream. From examining the unique "ecosystems" of each failed mortgage to witnessing parts of abandoned Florida returning to its wild natural state, Reyes takes the reader far from the machinations of Wall Street to the sun-baked side streets where the true costs of this crisis can be seen. The result is an extraordinary book about the allure and dream of homeâand a portrait of an America where the exiled insist on the right to their own America dreams, even as the terms are forcibly redrawn.
At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was the worst financial crisis of the twentieth century as well as a crime unparalleled in American history. Yet the vast majority of its perpetrators will never be prosecuted, and those who were have received minimal sentences. In the first in-depth scrutiny of the ways and means of this disaster, this groundbreaking book comes to disturbing conclusions about the deliberate nature of this financial fraud, the political collusion involved, and the leniency of the criminal justice system in dealing with these "Gucci-clad white-collar criminals."Using material from over one hundred interviews with government officials and industry leaders and recently declassified documents, the authors show how--contrary to previous government and "expert" explanations that chalked the disaster up to business risks gone awry or adverse economic conditions--S&L leaders engaged in deliberate fraud, stealing from their own corporations to speculate on high-risk ventures. Tempted by the insurance net, perpetrators looted their own institutions in a new kind of white-collar crime the authors dub "collective embezzlement."Big Money Crime also demonstrates how systematic political collusion--not just policy errors--was a critical ingredient in this unprecedented series of frauds. Bringing together statistics from a variety of government agencies, the authors provide a close reading of the track record of prosecutions and sentencing and find that "suite crime" receives much more lenient treatment than "street crime," despite its significantly higher price tag. The book concludes with a number of modest, but no less urgent, policy recommendations to counter the current deregulatory trend and to avert a replay of the S&L debacle in other financial sectors.FROM THE BOOK:"We built thick walls; we have cameras; we have time clocks on the vaults . . . all these controls were to protect against somebody stealing the cash. Well, you can steal far more money, and take it out the back door. The best way to rob a bank is to own one."--House Committee on Government Operations, 1988
Most of us have experienced a time where we have learned a financial principle or tool and said, I wish I had learned that before I entered the real world! Joseph Sangl used to be broke until he resolved to learn everything he possibly could about good financial management. In his first book, I Was Broke. Now I m Not., Joe shares his journey and the tools he used to become financial free. In this new book, Joe equips young people with the practical principles and tools that will help them avoid making major financial mistakes. Many of us have made financial mistakes and we know how hard it is to CURE them. Joe s goal with What Everyone Should Know About Money Before They Enter THE REAL WORLD is to help PREVENT the mistakes in the first place! Reviewers of this book have expressed a consistent theme this book is applicable to young people and they wish they had read a book like this when they were just entering the real world. Another surprising theme has emerged, however. People who have been in the real world for many years are saying that it has even helped them immensely!Author's Note: I am so excited about the opportunity to write this book. As I travel the nation speaking and teaching about personal finances, it has become incredibly clear to me that there is a severe lack of personal finance education in our schools and families. I want to see people live financially free lives, and helping people prevent financial mistakes is essential to ensuring to our passion of helping others accomplish far more than they ever thought possible with their personal finances.
