THE MIDAS TOUCH
Book Description
Everything King Midas touched turned to gold — but the real Midas touch is darker, and it's happening right now. In THE MIDAS TOUCH, James Cummins and Cameron W. Reed pull back the curtain on naked short selling, counterfeit stock, and the predatory financial practices that crashed the global economy in 2008 — and that continue to destabilize markets today.
With the precision of investigative journalists and the moral clarity of public intellectuals, Cummins and Reed expose a system in which phantom shares are created, sold, and never delivered — a form of financial alchemy that enriches a few while eroding the foundations of fair markets. The book traces the mechanisms, names the players, and maps the regulatory failures that have turned global finance into a casino where the house always wins and the rules are written by those who break them.
THE MIDAS TOUCH is essential reading for anyone who sensed that the 2008 crash was not an accident but a symptom — and for anyone who wants to understand why the next crisis is being built right now, in plain sight, on the same rotten foundations.
