A wake-up call for middle class Americans who feel trapped in a post-crisis economic slump, The Unfair Trade is a riveting exposé of the vast global financial system whose flaws are the source of our economic malaise.

Contrary to popular belief, the financial system cannot operate properly unless the government stands ready to bail out banks and other firms.
