Tom has always known exactly the person he is going to be. A successful soccer player. A man others look up to. Now, though, the bright future he imagined for himself is threatened.

The Premier League academy of his boyhood has let him go. At nineteen, Tom finds himself playing for a tiny club in a town he has never heard of. But as he navigates his isolation and his need for recognition, a sudden and thrilling encounter offers him the promise of an escape, and Tom is forced to question whether he can reconcile his supressed desires with his dreams of success.

Leah, the captain’s wife, has almost forgotten the dreams she once held, for her career, her marriage. Moving again, as her husband is transferred from club to club, she is lost, disillusioned with where life has taken her.

Why Wall Street Matters William D. Cohan

Key Selling Points: CONTROVERSIAL ARGUMENT: You may be the most ardent believer in breaking up the banks, but if you like your iPhone, or Facebook, or your house, or your car, or your pension, you not only need Wall Street to do what it’s supposed to do, you actually should like Wall Street.

POLITICALLY AGNOSTIC: Defenses of Wall Street usually come from the right, but Cohan is a progressive who can talk to both the Sanders supporters and the Wall Street elite.

BACK TO BASICS: This is a short, blistering manifesto that anyone can read and come away with a solid understanding of what Wall Street does and why it matters.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Cohan has written three bestselling books about financial institutions, peaking at #2 for House of Cards

Random House Trade Paperbacks UNIQUE CREDENTIALS: Cohan is both a real journalist (Columbia School of 9780399590719 Journalism, Vanity Fair contributing editor, and former New York Times Pub Date: 1/16/18 columnist) and a former banker on Wall Street for 17 years (Lazard, Merrill On Sale Date: 1/16/2018 Lynch, JP Morgan). $16.00/$22.00 Can.

Anti-bank sentiment has reached a boiling point in America. What started with Occupy Wall Street and Bill Maher satirically calling for the death of Wall Street bankers has culminated with Bernie Sanders pushing the dissolution of the big banks into the official 2016 Democratic platform. But in Cohan’s estimation, that sentiment is not only woefully ill-informed, but dangerously naive. Starting with what Wall Street literally is and what it actually does, Cohan swiftly debunks all of the misinformed arguments against it while acknowledging the problems that fuel those feelings. We can be mad at the greed and excess, but at the end of the day, Wall Street is the capital in capitalism and, when it’s working right, is the invisible engine that powers the ideas we have and the lives we love.
