    <body><![CDATA[It's strange to me that this book got favorable reviews from the business press when it portrays the world of high finance in such a deeply cynical light. That might attest to its veracity, and if so, that is truly disturbing.

It may be a novel, but it does more to explain the mind-set that led to our current financial melt-down than most of the news commentary or political posturing.  I'd recommend it anyway but especially in these times.]]></body>
