Nomi Prins discusses her book Jacked : How "Conservatives" Are Picking Your Pocket (Whether You Voted for Them or Not)."

Prins shows how the “conservative” agenda affects your wallet — and not just your money. Linking each card in a typical wallet to shortsighted policies, blunders, and scandals, she demonstrates how skewed national priorities have diminished America — but not the American spirit.

In Jacked, she recounts her travels across the country; people she met, stories they shared, and opinions they have. You'll find someone like yourself in Jacked no matter who you are, where you live or what you think of life or politics.

Before becoming a journalist, Prins worked on Wall Street as a managing director at Goldman Sachs, running the international analytics group at Bear Stearns in London, and as a strategist at Lehman Brothers.

Prins is the author of Other People’s Money: The Corporate Mugging of America. Her articles have appeared in The New York Times, Newsday, Fortune and The Guardian.
