    About this ebook

    In Makers and Takers, Rana Foroohar does not take the objective reporters approach, though she is a journalist and business analyst for news agencies like the Time and CNN. In this piece, she throws her weight behind in the belief that capitalism is doing the United States great injustice and if the financial system remains unchecked, there could be a looming economic turbulence.
    Foroohar accommodates all who disagree with her perspective graciously as she finds fault with the system in the financial industry and not individuals. She points out Tim Cook who is the CEO of Apple and writes that Tim gives a lot of attention on how to manipulate finances by ignoring the most crucial part of the business, inventing new products. Even in this, she faults the system and says that it promotes short-term profits and makes long-term planning suffer.
