Countless CEOs and titans of Wall Street have been let off the hook with financial penalties but no criminal consequences. That didn’t happen by accident. Donald Trump’s corruption seemed plain for all to see. The former president obstructed justice, flouted his responsibility to the Constitution, lied to the American people, and set our country on a dark path to disunity and violence. How could it be that he was never held accountable for any of the misdeeds that could be laid at his door? Honig takes us inside the heads of untouchable bosses, revealing how they use seemingly fair institutions and practices to build empires of corruption. He shows not just that money talks, but how it can corrupt otherwise reliable institutions and blind people to the real power dynamics behind the scenes. In this vital, incisive book, Honig explains just what makes the powerful untouchable.
