A Wall Street insider’s look at how the Fed shifted risk to taxpayers, rewarded reckless risk, and damaged the economy

In Bailout Nation, financial heavyweight and industry pundit Barry Ritholtz connects the dots to reveal how corporations were allowed to act irresponsibly, and why the consumer is left suffering in an economy of bubbles, inflation, and a devalued dollar.
