The Bankers: How the Banks Brought Ireland to Its Knees
Autor Shane Rossen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2010
This is the story Shane Ross - independent Senator, long-time champion of citizens against misbehaving corporations, and Journalist of the Year 2009 - tells inThe Bankers, going behind the scenes and the headlines to explain what happened, how it happened and who made it happen. They're all here: Sean FitzPatrick, Michael Fingleton and the other bank bosses; Patrick Neary and his colleagues in Ireland's failed regulatory apparatus; the property developers, whose borrowings ruined the banks, and many of whom are now personally ruined; and the politicians, whose policies helped inflate the property bubble and who have allowed the banks to dictate the terms of their bail-out. Shane Ross knows the stories of these people and what they got up to, and inThe Bankershe makes sense of a scandal that will haunt Ireland for years to come.

A hugely entertaining writer ... this is a serious book that is never boring, an engaging, personal account of the most tumultuous period in Ireland's economic history.
The book is littered with "you couldn't make it up" stories and gems. For anyone who really wants to know what happened, who let it happen, and how deep the rot really goes, this is a must.
Read this super book. Cry, get mad and get even.
Prose that sizzles on the page
