The Trouble Is the Banks: Letters to Wall Street

The Trouble Is the Banks: Letters to Wall Street

Emma Janaskie
3.2/5 ( ratings)
Letters from across America, collected by n+1 magazine, showing how the banks have failed us and why they must do better

While Occupy protests were taking place across the nation in the fall of 2011, a lone website, Occupy the Boardroom, invited Americans who would never make it to an occupation to write down their beliefs about the financial system and their experiences with loans and banking.
     The letters are polite, funny, outraged, moving, instructive, and inspiring. They are one of the most direct and compelling records ever assembled of what went on in the housing crisis and the great recession, written by We the People.
     In partnership with Occupy the Boardroom, a team of young editors from the magazine n+1 read through and gathered the most important, eloquent, and fascinating of these letters. The result is The Trouble Is the Banks. Hear, at last, what American citizens know about their country rather than the opinions of talking heads. Find out what Americans want all of us to do differently.
