The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives

Impunity. I admit that there is no current shortage of things that trigger one’s outrage, and looking for fresh trouble seems foolish. That said, many citizens remain outraged and confused about the lack of personal accountability on the part of individuals whose actions led to or deepened the great financial crisis of our time. Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Jesse Eisinger explores that subject in his book titled, The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives. Eisinger provides context, stories and depth about the corrosion of our justice system and the ways in which the current environment provides broad impunity for executives whose wrongdoing led to bad outcomes. My outrage was on a simmer on this subject for long time. Thanks to Eisinger, it reached a boiling point. Rating: Five-star (I love it) Click here to purchase The Chickenshit Club from amazon.com.
