MFOB FEATURED BOOK: Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business
Eight years after the biggest market meltdown since the Great Depression, the key lessons of the 2008 crisis still remain unlearned—and our financial system is just as vulnerable as ever. Exploring the forces that have led American businesses to favor balance-sheet engineering over actual engineering and the pursuit of short-term corporate profits over job creation, Foroohar discusses how financialization has harmed our society, and why reversing this trend is of grave importance to us all. Through colorful stories of both “Takers” and “Makers,” she reveals how to change the system to create a better and more sustainable shared economic future.
