A Standard Deviation - Hardcover

Straining to keep the U.S. economy at the pinnacle of world influence, President Chuck Lowery is doing what it takes to keep his Economic Revolution on track. Lowery's closest advisors feed the market the financial information that drives confidence and stock market prices higher and higher. Kirby Haines's partnership prospects at Morgan Greenville get better and better as the firm posts record revenues, led by its proprietary trading desk and Harrison Teasedale, a man with an uncanny ability to know how to score big in any trading environment. But Bert Washington can't come to grips with the economy that he and his family experience every day. His suspicions rekindle an old relationship with John Aichenhead, an FBI agent who uncovers a conspiracy of epic proportions. A Standard Deviation exposes the unholy Washington Beltway-Wall Street alliance with frightening allusion to the recent real-life meltdown that nearly brought down the nation.
