  • The book is a riveting exposé of a permanent financial dystopia, its causes, and real-world consequences.
  • It explores the divide between the real economy, based on productivity and traditional rules, and the financial economy dominated by central banks and financial titans.
  • It delves into the roots of this divide, which began as an emergency response to the 2008 financial crisis with the injection of cash into the economy known as 'Quantitative Easing'.
  • The book uncovers a world fractured by policies crafted by major financial institutions, led by the Federal Reserve, that have supercharged the financial system at the expense of regular citizens.

  • Written by Nomi Prins, an expert in the field, the book provides an authoritative perspective and exposes the social and political reckonings caused by financial market abandonment of the real economy.

Economic Conditions Editorial Review

In "Permanent Distortion: How the Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever," author Nomi Prins explores the disconnect between the financial markets and the real economy. According to the reviews, Prins presents a chronological account of events without offering much insight or interpretation. Some readers felt that the book lacked inspiration and depth. However, there were positive reviews as well. Some readers praised Prins for her original research and deep insight into the history of banking and the relationship between banks and the Federal Reserve. They appreciated her warning that the financial markets are detached from the economy and that a backlash is inevitable. Prins also highlights the impact of income inequality and justice inequality on the economy, pointing out the role of organized crime in closing these gaps. This perspective was seen as an important addition to the discussion. Overall, "Permanent Distortion" appears to be a thought-provoking book that raises important questions about the state of the economy.
