"In the Debt Generation, David Malone comes to a similar conclusion as I came to making Inside Job: that the financial system, as presently constituted, isn't just a danger to our economy, but to our very democracy." Charles Ferguson, director of Inside Job

“Before reading The Debt Generation I would have said that the funniest and most entertaining book on the financial crisis was "Whoops!" by John Lanchester. Now I think that prize must go to David Malone's work. It is intelligent, funny, informative and committed. It is committed on the side of us, the poor and weak, against them, the rich and strong, and I unhesitatingly recommend it to all readers who wish to be enlightened about the world of high finance and who want to be entertained at the same time."
