“Prins is a born story-teller. She turns the history of the
moneyed class into a breathless,
page-turning romance—the tawdry affairs of bankers and the



presidents who love them. It’s brilliant inside stuff on
unforgettable, and unforgivable, scoundrels.”
-Greg
Palast, investigative writer for BBC TV, Billionaires
& Ballot Bandits
author



“The relationship between Washington and Wall Street isn’t
really a revolving door. 
It’s a merry-go-round. As Prins shows, the merriest of all
are the bankers and financiers that get rich off the relationship, using their public
offices and access to build private wealth and power. Disturbing and important.”

Robert Reich



“Nomi Prins follows the money. She used to work on Wall
Street. And now she has written a seminal history of America’s bankers and
their symbiotic relationship with all the presidents from Teddy Roosevelt
through Barack Obama. It is an astonishing tale.”



                      
—Kai Bird, Pulitzer
Prize winning biographer



“All the Presidents’ Bankers speaks to the raw truth today
of what Louis D. Brandeis said a hundred years ago: “We must break the Money
Trust or the Money Trust will break us.”

— Ralph Nader



Nomi Prins is an American author, journalist, and Senior

, was her loudest
whistleblower book …so far.
