Publisher Description

DYLAN RATIGAN’S mission is to uncover never-before-seen solutions to the most pressing issues of our time: government corruption, corporate communism, an ailing health care system, an age-old dependency on foreign oil, and a broken educational system. In this groundbreaking book, Ratigan makes a case that America has the opportunity to prosper, but only by setting clear goals. Ratigan believes that this country, now more than ever, needs passionate debate and smart policy, a brazen willingness to scrap what doesn’t work, and the entrepreneurial spirit to try what does. Ratigan has compiled brash and fresh solutions for building a new and better America, and with this book he has started the debate America deserves.

"Excellent Book. I had a chance to meet Dylan Ratigan at a book signing. He really tries to help all make sense of what has happened to the citizens of our country and what we can do about the current state of affairs."

Quotes

  • “Readers will find a great deal to ponder, as Ratigan covers why and how he’s certain the USA is ‘going seriously wrong.’” 

    — USA Today
  • “Ratigan delivers an energetic, powerful, and at times unsettling portrait of America in crisis…And even though his portrait of the US is bleak, he believes we have options.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Some books explain a problem; this book gives you an entire worldview. Greedy Bastards puts everything in context and makes the enormity and entirety of our crises understandable. Dylan, as always, is incisive, sharp and pointed.” 

    — Eliot Spitzer
  • “Greedy Bastards is superb. Dylan’s policy recommendations track with what the Committee for Economic Development has been saying on health care, the federal deficit, corporate governance, education, a consumption tax, and campaign finance reform. His explanations are clear…Greedy Bastards deserves wide readership!” 

    — Charles Kolb, President of the Committee on Economic Development
