All the Wrong Moves

"We're living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from? All the Wrong Moves offers a new, eye-opening answer, rooted in history, business, and the author's firsthand experience, that reveals the true origins of America's current political crisis. In All the Wrong Moves, Anthony Scaramucci charts how both political parties, over three decades, made a series of catastrophic decisions that quietly dismantled the system supporting the American dream. First came Bill Clinton's trade deal with China, which opened U.S. markets while abandoning American workers. Next, George W. Bush's choice to wage war while cutting taxes, exploding the deficit. Finally, Barack Obama's bank bailout, which saved Wall Street but left millions of ordinary families behind. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump's rise and his ongoing assault on democracy and the rule of law. From the trading floors of Wall Street to the corridors of Washington, Scaramucci has witnessed how money, ambition, and hubris reshaped American politics. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he brings a rare insider's perspective to how both parties lost touch with the people they once represented. But All the Wrong Moves isn't just about how we got here-it's about how we get out. Scaramucci lays out practical solutions, including economic policies to rebuild opportunity for the working class and constitutional reforms to protect our democracy. It's a sharp, surprising critique that cuts through partisanship and challenges readers on the left, right, and center to reclaim what the American dream was always meant to be"-- Provided by publisher.
