| Abstract
|
:
|
In Wheel, Deal, and Steal, D. Quinn Mills shows investors how the financial frauds work, where the money goes, who's to blame, and what they can do about it. He explains how imperial CEOs continue to mislead their investors---and how the rules intended to protect investors continue to fail.
|
|
|
:
|
Mills outlines comprehensive reforms that can clean up the system and keep it clean, by finally eliminating the incentives that still promote massive corruption. He shows small investors how to protect their remaining assets---and, in some cases, even recover their losses.
