Given that the bank is flush with cash and doesn't much care what the public thinks of them (except when it comes to kittens ), this obviously has nothing to do with fear of populist outcry or certain pissant Rolling Stone writers with vivid imaginations.

It's the first crisis book to make a detailed series of specific recommendations about what needs to be done going forwards — or, in the words of the book's subtitle, “how to fix the US financial system”.
