Crony Capitalists in Our Backyards: Who They Are, What They Do and How to Fight Back

by Amy Handlin

Overview

New from Voices of the Tea Party. In Crony Capitalists in Our Back Yards, Amy Handlin, a Harvard educated Republican member of New Jersey's General Assembly, demonstrates that crony capitalism is as much of a problem at the state and local level as it is at the federal level. Drawing on her personal experiences, Ms. Handlin paints a colorful picture of some of the political insiders who've used their positions of power to advance their own financial interests at the expense of the public welfare. Ms. Handlin concludes with a set of practical recommendations that average citizens can undertake to fight crony capitalism in their own back yards.
