Year of the Rat: Historical Fictional Account of the Origin of the 2008 Financial Meltdown. Financial Terrorism As a Weapon Against National Welfare and Security. Scott Grant

In September 2008 America was nearly brought to its knees by the melt down of its financial systems. The age of digital trading along with unsound practices that were not closely monitored were blamed, in fact, Hedge Funds were not regulated at all. Combined with the build up of toxic paper in the sub-prime mortgage industry a widespread meltdown occured, but many experienced traders still do not believe electronic systems were the main culprit. Instead suspicions still run deep that America was attacked by those who understood our systems and that we will be attacked again when our currency has been diluted and we are hit by stagflation. Scott Grant uses the basis of factual history to weave a hypothetical action thriller that explodes from cover to cover. Once you read this story you will never look at a bank in the same way again.
