Griftopia

“A stinging new history of the financial crisis that heralds a return of Menckenesque, dirt-under-the-fingernails American journalism.”—GQ “A relentlessly disturbing, penetrating exploration of the root causes of the trauma that upended economic security in millions of American homes … a full-scale indictment of Wall Street and Washington.”—The New York Times Book Review “Matt Taibbi is [Hunter S.] Thompson’s heir… . [Griftopia] is the most lucid, justifiably angry description of what happened and what continues to happen to our nation’s economy.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Taibbi chronicles the corruption of the political process with indignation and dark humor. The takeaway? Be angry, but blame the right culprits.”—Time

Matt Taibbi is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone and the author of four previous books, including the New York Times bestseller The Great Derangement. He lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.
