How much do we really know about money - the myriad ways we spend it, save it, invest it, and lose it?  In The Bankers, Martin Mayer explores the drastic changes, revolutions, and unprecedented upheavals that have recently taken place in our most powerful economic institutions so as to help us understand the way our money works - and its far-reaching effects on all our lives.

Completely rewritten, completely updated from his 1975 The Bankers, this important new book tells you everything you need to know about the future of finance in an ever-expanding electronic age.  Discover:

• The effects of credit card use and expanding personal debt on the future of banking
• The benefits and drawbacks of computer banking and the Internet
• The inside story on the multi-trillion-dollar-a-day business of money marketing accounts
• Where multi-state banking and megamergers are headed...and much more

Once you read The Bankers, you will never view Wall Street, Washington, the American economy - and your own finances - in the same way again.
