The Evil that Banks Do

This book contains essays, short stories, and news analysis on banks, politics, train rides, grade school, and other issues. These essays were written during the two years leading up to the 2008 election of Barack Obama. A number of them were published on the Huffington Post. The short stories were inspiration for the making of three short film scripts, two of which were produced. Mostly these essays deal with the pressing issues of the times, a failing economy leading up to the September 2008 Wall Street crash, the politics of the 2008 presidential election, and other experiences, like dealing with my son's parent-teacher conference, being pushed to place him in a government funded program, and working at IndyMac Bank, one of the first casualties of the banking mortgage fiasco.
