Is Wall Street bad for Main Street America?

"A well-told exploration of why our current economy is leaving too many behind." —The New York Times


In looking at the forces that shaped the 2016 presidential election, one thing is clear: much of the population believes that our economic system is rigged to enrich the privileged elites at the expense of hard-working Americans. This is a belief held equally on both sides of political spectrum, and it seems only to be gaining momentum.
 
A key reason, says Financial Times columnist Rana Foroohar, is the fact that Wall Street is no longer supporting Main Street businesses that create the jobs for the middle and working class. She draws on in-depth reporting and interviews at the highest rungs of business and government to show how the “financialization of America”—the phenomenon by which finance and its way of thinking have come to dominate every corner of business—is threatening the American Dream.
 
Now updated with new material explaining how our corrupted financial sys­tem propelled Donald Trump to power, Makers and Takers explores the confluence of forces that has led American businesses to favor balance-sheet engineering over the actual kind, greed over growth, and short-term profits over putting people to work. From the cozy relationship between Wall Street and Washington, to a tax code designed to benefit wealthy individuals and corporations, to forty years of bad policy decisions, she shows why so many Americans have lost trust in the sys­tem, and why it matters urgently to us all.
 
Through colorful stories of both “Takers,” those stifling job creation while lining their own pockets, and “Makers,” businesses serving the real economy, Foroohar shows how we can reverse these trends for a better path forward.

Best Wine Opener ever
I hoped I made a wise choice to buy this wine opener and boy did I make the right choice. I have had 2 other electric openers and this is by far the best. You place it on the bottle and press the button once. You hold the bottle and opener and the opener does its job, you don't need to hold the button down. Once it pulls the cork turn it up side down and place it on the counter. It automatically stops and then automatically reverses and ejects the cork. You dinner guests will love watching it. Great opener!!!!!!

Excellent Buy!
I love this little beauty! Works like a charm, and is slightly smaller than its competitors, so it’s easier for packing and portability. I’m a flight attendant, so I actually use this on the plane to open bottles in premium class. It’s sharp looking too…and the attached foil cutter is well designed.
