So after much suffering I managed to finish chapter one of Obamanomics by John R. Talbott. Most of it is your standard anti-corporate tripe accompanied by much metaphorical sucking of Obama's cock, but there were 3 things that I agreed with:
Pg. 41 third paragraph discussing insider trading. In order for a free market to work it has to be transparent and a level playing field. Insider trading destroys both of those requisites.
Pg. 42 first paragraph discussing credit default swaps. I agree that as currently implemented those instruments are poisonous.
Pg. 49 second paragraph discussing the pending insolvency of state and municipal retirement and benefit plans.
