Author Nomi Prins surveys the close relationship between banks and American presidents, from funding campaigns to influencing monetary policy long after elections, and links the Clinton and Bush dynasties to a past (and future) of financial deregulation.
Nomi is author of the book All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances that Drive American Power, which was just released in paperback. Here is a direct audio link.
