  4. Im looking for a book that targets this very topic – I think its titled
    The Bubble Corporation?
    The bubble Company?
    I heard an interview like this within the last year where the author had described GSachs as the architect of almost all dangerous investment bubbles of the last cerntury – complicit in this is the Fed Bank, Reserve and every administration that continues to appoint X GSachs employees as Fed Chair or policy advisors etc.

    If you know of the book please
