The United States has two separate banking systems today - one serving the well-to-do and another exploiting everyone else. How the Other Half Banks contributes to the growing conversation on American inequality by highlighting one of its prime causes: unequal credit.

Dieses Werk befasst sich mit dem irrationalen Faktor im Wirtschaftsleben und erörtert mittels Fallgeschichten die Logik hinter dem Misslingen in der Ökonomie.

Pasta, guita, plata, parné, duros. Da igual cómo lo llamemos, pero lo cierto es que el dinero importa ahora más que nunca.
