A review by vikramx
A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren
5.0
This book is an autobiographical account of the meteoric rise of a small town girl from Oklahoma to US Senator .
Senator Warren reveals the harsh reality of how the absolute decimation of American middle class through de-regulation of the finance sector bought about in the span of one generation “Reaganomics” has left families teetering on the brink of bankruptcy with multiple loans from housing to education .Predatory lending practices from banks through decades targeting vulnerable sections of the societies . The book goes on to tell her role in the forming the consumer watchdog program on such practices , handling of TARP bailout to the Dodd Frank regulations and how lobbying controls congress .
Off-course Elizabeth Warren has impeccable credentials Harvard Law professor , 30 years of finance regulatory work , US Senator Massachusetts but more importantly I found her genuinely concerned for the working class .
