In the spirit of Barbarians at the Gate and Liar's Poker comes The
Sellout, the definitive book on the recent collapse of Wall Street, one
of the most dramatic and anxiety-ridden era in national socioeconomic
history. In this powerful business narrative, Charles Gasparino, the
author of Blood on the Floor and King of the Club, captures how
avarice, arrogance, and sheer stupidity eroded Wall Street's dominance,
made many of our country's most fabled financial institutions vulnerable
to significant new foreign control, and profoundly weakened the
financial security of millions of poor and middle-class American
families.
