     Summary

Gary Weiss, one of the business world’s most dogged investigative reporters, has written the definitive book about the dark side of wall street-not just a few bad apples, but the whole rotten barrel. This is the outrageous, riveting, darkly funny story of what really happens in every corner of the financial system: from internet tip sites and boiler rooms, to fee-happy mutual funds and hedge funds, to the bluest of blue-chip securities firms. With vivid anecdotes and character studies, Wall Street versus America will show you how investors are consistently victimized-while sleepy regulators, biased arbitrators, and the indifferent media all look the other way.
