Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Sogo]

A book called "mobs, messiahs, and markets" is something you might like. For traders, it's nice because it really rips away all the pretenses that most people have about the "goodness" of gvt, certain movements and such, and also exposes some important truths behind a few historical events that help illustrate the sad fact that, as we should all know by now, most gvts are basically like mobs. They're just like gangsters. Even (especially?) ours. It's a very entertaining and enlightening book that points out that especially those leaders who pose as "world improvers" of some sort are the ones to really look out for! It gets into some examples of rigging of markets, too. Basically, had I not read that book, I might've been surprised when I read Epstein's work last July. But I wasn't surprised by anything except certain details and the fact that hardly anyone in the media or amongst regular people seems to understand who blatant and huge the theft was with FNMA.
