About this listen
Culled from original presidential archival documents, All the Presidents' Bankers delivers an explosive account of the 100-year interdependence between the White House and Wall Street that transcends a simple analysis of money driving politics or greed driving bankers.
Nomi Prins ushers us into the intimate world of exclusive clubs, vacation spots, and Ivy League universities that binds presidents and financiers. She unravels the multi-generational blood, intermarriage, and protégé relationships that have confined national influence to a privileged cluster of people. This unprecedented history of American power illuminates how financiers have retained their authoritative position through history, swaying presidents regardless of party affiliation. It explores the alarming global repercussions of a system lacking barriers between public office and private power. Prins leaves us with an ominous choice: either we break the alliances of the power elite, or they will break us.

A masterpiece of thorough and original research.
The mysteries of banking power fuel countless conspiracy theories about how the banks control politics. Through thorough research, Nomi Prins demystifies the interface between the USA's leading bankers and their contemporary presidents over the past century. She lays bare the manipulations that advanced banking power, but also demonstrates how, in the case of FOR, a strong president committed to the general welfare of the population, was able to bend the bankers to his will. This book confirmed to me that the FED model must be revived, if the world is to recover from the present financial quagmire.

A Must Read
It’s important to understand the insidious forces at play behind those who lead our government, economy & financial systems, whilst appearing to have our best interests at heart.
Foreign aid/grants: aka to bail out the bankers from deals gone bad in developing countries. (My note: and to launder money). Makes sure the borrower can continue to pay.
Deregulation to enable more Competition: aka eliminate smaller players & allow bankers to make more risky bets at the roulette wheel knowing that the taxpayer will bail them out if they make a losing bet.
Many are now seeing the symbiotic relationship that exists between the government & elite bankers; this books provides a great background on how these forces originated & developed.
