The black markets of finance, the unregulated, secretive, barely licit parts of the financial markets, have thrived and infected the entire financial system. Business blues, a feeling of insecurity and unfairness, pervades publicly traded companies as richly paid executives take all measures to boost share price, protect their precarious job, and please their financial masters. This system crashed in the fall of 2008. This is the time and opportunity, write the authors, for societies and their governments to make radical changes before the shaken, destabilized maestros of finance recover their aplomb.
