I've seen videos with the author of Confessions of a Hit Man and also read excerpts from his book - have not actually read the book.  Another good book, which I've mentioned here several times is The Creature from Jekyll Island - that book really explains how we got to the place we are now - excellent history, IMHO. 

Then if you read about the Enron debacle or the junk bond fiasco with Michael Milken - you get an inside look at just how crooked these people can be...
