Synopses & Reviews
This book presents a vivid picture of pervasive corporate fraud. The authors, well-known authorities on criminology, argue that white collar crime is the most pernicious crime problem in America today, with financial, physical, and social costs dwarfing those of street crime. Looting America traces the historical roots of scandals infecting our economy today, with provocative information that will arouse righteous indignation.
Review
"In a highly readable and witty style, Looting America describes a corporate culture turned inside out. Welcome to a new world where failure and greed are rewarded while hard work and trust are often punished. Rosoff, Pontell, and Tillman have given us an authoritative account of the white-collar crime problem in the U.S. that is more timely than ever." Arianna Huffington
Review
"Seldom do books of great scholarship take on the pacing of a thriller or the moral force of a statesman's oratory. Looting America does both. In ever-lively anecdotes and startling statistics, the authors expose the dark side of our justice system, a place where well-dressed thieves pull off million-dollar heists with frightening regularity and almost always get away with it....Looting America is an outstanding book."
