Stein is a lawyer, an economist who knows finance, a good writer,
and someone who has a social ethic that goes beyond private profiteering.
He might be the only such person in America who can get an occasional book
published. He compares Milkenism to organized crime in its "use of underworld
tactics of the con and the shakedown, the swindle and the heist, in the world
of finance on a national and international scale." If the gruff, cagey Mafia
hoods who testified at the Kefauver hearings in 1950 had been slick enough
to work in "legitimate" business instead of street-corner gambling and
loan-sharking, how much more money would they have been able to make?
"Now we know," writes Stein. (page 187)
