Sheila Bair and the Bullies of Wall Street: WC President Reads at Literary House, Explains “How Greed Messed up our Economy”
By Meaghan Menzel (original source The Elm)
Washington College’s 28th President Sheila Bair gave a reading from her novel “The Bullies of Wall St.” at our Rose O’Neill Literary House Monday, Oct. 19. “Bullies of Wall St.” is a novel for a younger audience about the 2008 financial crisis. “If you’re not particularly enamored with financial matters [and] you don’t want to wade through the 500 pages that have been written about the financial crisis, this is a little more accessible,” Bair said.
