Why white collar criminals get away with it

Bloomberg’s Tim Lavin writes a neat little piece revolving around Jesse Eisinger’s The Chickensh** Club, a book that delves a little deeper into something we all know: Rich white collar crooks get away with it. White collar crime is as old as white collar work, but never has it been more sensationalized than in the Information Age in which we live. The article looks into the fact that to appreciate what the agencies do (or don’t do) to combat white collar crime, we have to look at a mucher larger piece of bureaucratic history than the more recent build up. It’s a nice, quick read and has us putting The Chickensh** Club on our list.
