Product Description
From the author of THE MORE YOU WATCH THE LESS YOU KNOW, NEWS DISSECTOR and WHEN NEWS LIES
Americans under a burden that many will never crawl out of.
* PLUNDER identifies some of the profiteers and calls for an investigation of those behind this shrewdly engineered subprime scheme. * PLUNDER indicts the regulators who enabled the crisis and the media that missed it. * PLUNDER advocates a debt-relief movement in America and argues that such a movement would resonate across the political spectrum.
"Social critic and journalistic provocateur - Danny Schechter - deserves our appreciation for identifying yet another crucially important issue that has been ignored by the mainstream media and our national leaders." - Robert D. Manning, Professor and Director of the Center for Consumer Financial Services, Rochester Institute of Technology

Reader ReviewsDanny Schechter has compiled a brilliant book based on his documentary work, In Debt We Trust, as well as his news dissector blog. Within the covers of the new book, Plunder, you will find three sections that will help you to a) understand what happened, b) what the unfolding timeline of the events were and c) why the powers that be kept news like this from us all. Speaking truth to power, Schechter has had a difficult time letting the world know just what was as plain as could be, if you really took the time to look for the sources that could be trusted. I highly encourage anyone who wants to help avert further disasters, man-made ones, to read this book in order to learn how to do it. Danny Schechter is a great teacher as well as a great news hound.
