He breaks down how cheap-money madness and Wall Street greed created a trillion dollars in walking-dead investments, now haunting pensions, 401(k)s, and private funds. From “ethical bypass at birth” fund managers to the coming reckoning for America’s financial elite, Chris explains why you don’t want to be the next “greater fool.”
