Nomi Prins, een voormalig wereldwijd investment banker en financieel journalist, duikt in haar werk in de machtsstructuren en verborgen allianties die de wereldeconomie en het politieke landschap vormgeven. Met een scherp oog voor systemische manipulatie analyseert ze hoe centrale bankiers en bedrijven wereldmarkten beïnvloeden. Haar inzichten zijn geworteld in een diep begrip van financiële mechanismen en historische contexten. Prins biedt lezers een indringende kijk op de machinaties die vaak verborgen blijven achter de façade van officiële verklaringen en financiële rapporten.
Exposes the collusion between central banks as they control the global markets and dictate economic policy, casting an unflinching spotlight on the dark conspiracies and unsavory connections within the halls of power
The relationship between Washington and Wall Street isn't really a revolving
door. Its a merry-go-round. And, as Prins shows, the merriest of all are the
bankers and financiers that get rich off the relationship, using their public
offices and access to build private wealth and power. Disturbing and
important. -Robert B. Reich
The book offers an insider's perspective on the interconnectedness of Wall Street, Corporate America, and Capitol Hill during a booming economy. It reveals the influence of old-boy networks and the movement of hot money, while critically examining the superficial reforms implemented to regulate these powerful entities. Through this lens, the author exposes the underlying issues and challenges in addressing financial and political corruption.
"Central banks and institutions like the IMF and the World Bank are overstepping the boundaries of their mandates by using the flow of money to control global markets and dictate economic policy both at the domestic and global level. These public institutions have become so dependent on funding from private banking and the revolving door between the two worlds is so smooth that public and private banks are effectively working toward the same goals. Packed with bold-faced names from the world of finance--from Janet Yellen, Mario Draghi, and Ben Bernanke to Christine Lagarde and Angela Merkel--Collusion sheds a bright light on the dark conspiracies and unsavory connections between what is ostensibly private and public banking and how it affects us"-- Provided by publisher
