“A parade of media reports this week name Penny Pritzker as Obama’s prime choice for Secretary of Commerce. No longer will criminal bankers have to lobby the administration – because now they’ll have one of their own in the Cabinet.” Greg Palast

It’s difficult not to be cynical or sceptical when you read this stuff – I’d go for sceptical, cynicism destroys your soul.

If you buy the book in the UK you could try Hive.co.uk and pick it up from your local bookshop they get a cut (not much but it assuages the guilt and you haven’t used Amazon)
