| Summary: | 'The definitive account of the Royal Bank of Scotland fiasco. It's an engaging, if in some ways infuriating, tale of how self-serving bank executives systematically broke the rules, lent with astonishing recklessness, abused customers and got suckered by Wall Street before ultimately dumping their mess on taxpayers. Fraser doesn't just point the finger at Royal's clueless bankers. He also expertly chronicles the role of misguided regulations, captured supervisors and deluded politicians in fuelling this catastrophe.' - Yves Smith, founder of Naked Capitalism and author of econned: How Unenlightened Self Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalism. |
