At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was the worst financial crisis of the 20th century as well as a crime unparalleled in American history. This title demonstrates how systematic political collusion - not just policy errors - was a critical ingredient in this unprecedented series of frauds.
