Read Chapter 2 of Matt Taibbi's Griftopia (pp. 35-77),
If you missed class, we introduced the exploratory essay for the research paper, which is due Tuesday, Dec. 20. A description of the assignment is posted to the right; see me for the related handouts that were distributed in class.
Also, in class we began viewing the documentary The Flaw, which covers the 2008 financial crisis.
