It takes a pillage
My weekly podcast, After the Bell, is now available. This week, I talk to Nomi Prins. She used to work for Goldman Sachs, but now writes for The Daily Beast and has a new book: It Takes a Pillage. Great title, huh? The book's description on Amazon: A former Wall Street manager turned muckraking journalist gets inside how the banks looted the Treasury, stole the bailout, and continued with business as usual. We talk about what's wrong with the government's proposals on pay, why she left Wall Street and whether all the populist anger is justified. Plus, I break down the week that was. Music from ZZ Top, Men Without Hats and BB Jay. If you'd like ATB to download automatically each week, click here. Click continue reading to listen now.
I heard an interview with Ms. Prins last week on WWRL NYC, I thought that it is about time that someone who worked on WS, quit because they could not stand it any more. I personally know someone who worked for a big bond trader and left to pursue the more mellow world of Merlot. I just got finished reading the Wrecking Crew, I plan to buy her book now.
