Sabri,
The book is called Money for Nothing - The Corporate Mugging of
America. It's being published by The New Press, the same publishers as
for Doug's book, After the New Economy, and will be out Spring 2004.
Here's part of the blurb that will be in the Spring catalog:
In the first years of the Bush administration some of America's most
prominent corporate executives cashed out billions of dollars of stock
and stock options before driving their companies to ruin through fraud
and bankruptcy. They left in their wake a tangle of lost jobs, depleted
pensions and shattered lives. To write off the corruption as no more
than unbridled greed on the part of a few is an oversimplification.
Rather, as Nomi Prins shows in this devastating expose, corporate
malfeasance resulted from a mixture of hollow legislation, a false sense
of entitlement, and utter lack of accountability. Years of deregulation
obliterated the rules of responsible corporate behavior, the stock
market roared on the back of phony balance sheets; politicians and
regulatory agencies were MIA. The result? Executives won and ordinary
Americans lost.
With the knowing eye of an insider, Nomi Prins uncovers the old boy
networks and hot money flows between Wall Street, Corporate America and
Capitol Hill and exposes the white wash of reforms brought in to control
them.

Hi Nomi,
I was reading Doug's archives and there I saw Ian mentioning a book you
wrote or are writing. Can you give me some information about it?
Best,
Sabri
