Abstract

Many readers of Monthly Review were undoubtedly both surprised and delighted by Neil Barofsky's blistering essay in the New York Times written just after he left his position as the Special Inspector General in charge of oversight at TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program).… Neil Barofsky was that truly rare government "bureaucrat," a true believer in government by the people and for the people. Now he has written a book that should shock our nation.
