Reception

Regarding her book It Takes a Pillage, author Jim Hightower said, “Nomi Prins knows the mind-set, knows how to read spreadsheets, knows the people, and knows Wall Street’s games. Nomi knows and now Nomi tells.”

Regarding All the Presidents' Bankers:

  • “A calm, authoritative elucidation of verifiable history” — Financial Times
  • “Even those who have read Secrets of the Temple, William Greider’s massive and brilliant 1987 exposé of the Federal Reserve, will find Prins’s book worth their time. She presents a new narrative, one that shows how the changing cast of six has shaped America’s fortunes under presidents in both parties.” — American Prospect
  • "Prins divides her justifiably long text into digestible one- to three-page segments and seamlessly incorporates dozens of prominent banker profiles. Her work is highly recommended both to general readers and to students of financial history." — Library Journal
  • "A revealing look at the often symbiotic, sometimes-adversarial relationship between the White House and Wall Street... [A] sweeping history of bank presidents and their relationships with the nation’s chief executives" — Kirkus Reviews
  • Works

    Prins' articles have appeared in The New York Times, Fortune, Newsday, Mother Jones, Slate.com, The Guardian, The Nation, The American Prospect, Alternet, New York Daily News, La Vanguardia, and other publications. She is a monthly contributor to Tom Dispatch where she offers analysis on the connections between Wall Street and Washington. Currently, she is working on her latest book that will focus on the movement of money by central banks to influence global markets and economic policy in the domestic and global scale. The Nation Books holds the worldwide English rights to the forthcoming publication.
