Bad Money - Required readingOctober 30, 2008 BI(Sammamish, WA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kevin Phillips once again gives clarity to a complex issue. This book should be required reading by anybody involved in financial decisions in the public and private sectors.

This book details the possibly fatal indebtedness of the US to lenders throughout the rest of the world. The only major omission is a discussion of the instruments that may be the final nail in our coffin, Credit Default Swaps.
Essential readingOctober 24, 2008 Stuart Denenberg(West Hollywood, CA) "Bad Money" is the most brilliantly written analysis of the economic situation we confront today. I purchased it and read it thanks to Bill Moyers' recommendation and his interview with Kevin Phillips, the author. As enlightening as it was, and terrifying--it was also entertaining. The prose style, the apercus, the freedom of the content--made for aremarkable--even stunning read. I can not recommend it more highly.
Good Book, glumy outlook-October 23, 2008 Michael B. Aune(San Francisco, CA United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Aside from going overboard a bit on the vocab, I really liked this fast paced, easy to read, and easy to understand book. The author paints a dark picture of our financial system, and you will have to make your own judgments as to what his analysis means, but as far as the facts the author is spot on.

Mr. Phillips wrote a very thorough and complete review of the reasons why America and the world community are suffering during the current fiscal crisis. This book should be read by all who aspire to public office and by all who are in a position to put this knowledge to good use by correcting the monumental failers of our government leaders and the ruthless criminals who were the Corporate bosses that brought the failure to fruition. As an aside I will not be satisfied until they have been stripped of their ill gotten gains and sent to prison to rot.
