Synopsis
How the actions of a few in Europe destroyed the prosperity of the many (and how it's happening again now in America) After the fall of the Roman Empire, vicious barbaric tribes including the Hunds lead by Atilla, the Mongols, Charlemagne and the Vikings invaded Europe, plundering property and destroying homes., How the actions of a few in Europe destroyed the prosperity of the many (and how it's happening again now in America) After the fall of the Roman Empire, vicious barbaric tribes including the Hunds lead by Atilla, the Mongols, Charlemagne and the Vikings invaded Europe, plundering property and destroying homes. But, they didn't just steal and destroy property in the villages; they also stole and destroyed any prosperity the villagers had previously enjoyed. What's worse is the barbarians of the Dark Ages did all of this not out of any deeply held religious or political belief, but, rather, for the oldest reason in the book - their own personal financial gain. Some things never change. Barbarians of Wealth examines how the greedy, self-serving decisions of a select group of politicians and financial institutions negatively impacts the economy and, ultimately, destroys America's prosperity and the American way of life. Compelling and engaging, the book Details how Goldman Sachs peddled mortgage backed securities up and down Wall Street while secretly betting against their demise Discusses how Sanford Weill, founder of Citigroup spent $100 million lobbying for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act that prevented the merger of commercial and investment banks and got his way. Examines Christopher Dodd, head of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, has enriched himself while driving down the prosperity of his constituents Offers up examples of other modern barbarians, including the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, Hank Paulson, and Timothy Geithner. Highlights greed driven tactics of Wall Street corporations including JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, and Salomon Brothers. Barbarians of Wealth is a timely must read for hard-working Americans concerned with their prosperity, as well as for those fascinated with the inner workings of Washington and Wall Street., "Barbarians of Wealth is a breathtaking history of greed from Roman times to the present. Anyone interested in how welath is created and destroyed will find this book facscinating. It also provides practical solutions for profiting from the current barbarian scourge of Wall Street." Michael Masterson, New York Times bestselling author of Automatic Wealth; Ready, Fire, Aim; and The Pledge "We're being robbed of our hardearned money! You know it, I know...but few of us have the ability to expose it in action. Except Sandy Franks. Her book, Barbarians of Wealth, exposes in detail how politicians and their Wall Street 'friends' stop short of nothing to grab our money and dash our hope. you'll see how every move you've heard about in the media has a calculated motive behind it. The best part? Frank's genius at showing us how to use these 'high crimes and misdemeanors' to actually make a fortune. Fascinating and profitable. Read Barbarians of Wealth now...before it's too late." Mike Ward, Publisher, Money Map Press "Finally, a book that tells the real story of the barbaric actions by political and economic powerhouses and, in a straightforward, easytounderstand manner, reveals simple, yet powerful, realworld investment solutions that readers can implement to protect themselves. This is a mustread for any astute investor." Erika Nolan, Publisher of The Sovereign Society; coauthor of The Insured Portfolio "Barbarians of Wealth is by far one of the most interesting tellall books that provides readers with an indepth and honest look into the world of politics and Wall Street. Barbarians of Wealth compares the actions of the barbarians of the Dark Ages to what the authors call 'modernday barbarians' greedy, selfserving politicians and Wall Street fat cats who are willing to destroy the public's prosperity for their own personal gain. This book shows that the tactics used by modernday financial barbarians are just as ruthless as that of their counterparts from Attila the Hun to the Mongols. This is an eyeopening book and mustread by every American citizen, rich or poor." Bob Compton, CFO, Agora Publishing
