Other People’s Money: The Corporate Mugging of America (The New Press, 2004) is a devastating exposé into the much publicized corporate malfeasance of recent years. Prins examines the first years of the Bush administration during which some of America’s most prominent corporate executives cashed out billions of dollars in stock options before driving their companies to ruin through fraud and bankruptcy. In their wake they left a tangle of lost jobs, depleted pensions, and shattered lives. With an insider’s eye, Prins uncovers the old-boy networks and hot-money flows between Wall Street, Corporate America, and Capitol Hill, and exposes the whitewash reforms brought in to control them.
