"This is a marvelous book Well-written--even enjoyable to read--about local banking Packed with important information, not only for the expert, but for anyone, activist or public official, Put it on top of your reading pile "
-- Gar Alperovitz, author of What Then Must We Do?

-- David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth

What do they think they're doing?

The global network of banks, brokers, funds, dealers, servicers, and all the rest is a marvel of the 21st century--for better and frequently worse. In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis in a generation, there has never been a more important time to understand how the system works... and why it doesn't.

Checking the Banks is an easy-to-read primer on how a bank--and the banking system--works. Complex ideas, like bank capital, leverage, risk-weighting, and repo transactions are explained in clear, understandable language.

This is a book for
  • People who want to understand banks,

  • Activists determined to change them,

  • Reformers seeking to build alternatives.
