"Griftopia" by Rolling Stones reporter Matt Taibbi is a smart and sophisticated description of the 2008 economic collapse. Taibbi's tone is that of a skeptical and seasoned reporter despite the author's relatively young age. Even the book's title, "Griftopia," is a not so subtle reference to the fraud and crime committed by greedy denizens of Wall Street. The title explicitly harkens to the days gone by in which the United States was known to its citizens and most people around the world as "Utopia."
