Anthony Scaramucci

All the Wrong Moves is a profound, compelling and deeply thought-provoking book. Drawing on the past centuries of America’s rich history, this is a story filled with razor-sharp analysis, wisdom and pragmatic common sense. Authoritative, incisive, often disturbing, but ultimately offering a path for redemption – it needs to be read by as wide an audience as possible

Thoughtful, witty and always provocative, this is a wonderfully insightful reflection on the Trump phenomenon. Scaramucci takes the long view, looking back into American history for the roots of Trumpism, and identifies three crucial moments that shaped the political landscape of the 2020s. From the embrace of globalization and the rise of China to the invasion of Iraq and the Wall Street bailouts, this is an essential guide to what’s gone wrong with America. It’s an irresistibly engaging, lively and clever read – just as you’d expect from such a gifted communicator

Anthony Scaramucci brings to his superb book the same verve, wit and intelligent analysis that we hear each week on The Rest is Politics US. This is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of the mess the world is in

Anthony Scaramucci has the rare talent of offering important political and market insights while also being blisteringly funny. All the Wrong Moves is thought-provoking and fun

The Mooch is just so annoying: as a storyteller, he makes the rest of us feel drab

The maddeningly brilliant Mooch is impossible to ignore

Scaramucci’s deep knowledge of the forces that have created our current political situation is presented here with great clarity and a sharp wit

Here’s what Anthony Scaramucci gets exactly right in his newest book: He has the courage to say he was wrong and sketches out how we all need to come to terms with the errors we have made as a country if we want to get past the devastation wrought by Donald Trump over the last decade. There is no easy fix, but the United States — built on money and moxie and also mistakes and at a critical crossroads — needs as many good ideas as possible to get back to our better angels and this is a critical primer on how to do just that

An absolute must-read for anyone who wants to understand the empire of Trump – and what lies beyond it. Anthony Scaramucci is an insider who also has the analytic power and deep knowledge to bring truly fresh perspectives to the greatest political story of our time. It grabs your attention, commands the imagination and is full of wit and wisdom. Indispensable

How the hell did we get here? How did a New York real-estate guy turned reality TV star get elected twice as president of the United States by a deeply polarized electorate? To answer that question, Donald Trump’s shortest-lived hire as press secretary, the irrepressible Anthony Scaramucci, offers three others. What were we thinking letting China into the World Trade Organization in 2001? Why did we try to wage the "War on Terror” by borrowing instead of raising taxes? And who thought bailing out the fat cats of Wall Street was the right response to the Global Financial Crisis? These three “wrong moves,” The Mooch argues, explain the populist backlash that brought Trump (and himself, briefly) to power in 2016. Now estranged from the Make America Great Again movement, Scaramucci has written a compelling early draft of the history of our times—what he calls history from “the Money Point of View.” Like its author, All the Wrong Moves is smart, sharp, and self-aware

A provocative and heartfelt rethink of how a few critical policy decisions, seemingly reasonable at the time, might account for the dire political straits America finds itself in today. Clear and engaging, with frequent references to historical analogies, Scaramucci challenges the usual consensus that the Trump phenomenon is mainly about the idiosyncratic views of one individual

Establishment elites got some big things wrong both at home and abroad, and the rise of populism and Donald Trump are two of the results. What’s more, divisions in this country could well increase as jobs disappear and the American dream fades for many. Anthony Scaramucci has given us an intellectually honest, unvarnished book that explains how his thinking has changed--and why yours should as well

How Three Catastrophic Decisions and Years of Sh*tshow Politics Led to Trump – and How We Find a Way Out

An explosive insider story of the biggest mistakes in history and how to put them right — from the man who saw America’s wrong moves up close, White House insider turned host of the hit podcast, The Rest is Politics: US 
 
We’re living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come 
from, and how do we get out? 
 
Anthony Scaramucci’s electrifying answer – rooted in history, business, and first-hand experience – reveals the true origins of America’s current crisis, charting how both political parties made a series of catastrophic decisions that dismantled a postwar period of unprecedented stability and prosperity. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump’s rise and his assault on democracy. 
 
The story Scaramucci tells is ‘money-point-of-view history’: it gallops from Wall St to Main St, from the boardroom to the Situation Room. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he has witnessed first-hand how money and ambition have always lived in tension with ideals. And he brings a rare skin-in-the game perspective to showing how both parties failed the people they once represented. 
 
It will take courage and tough action but in All The Wrong Moves he sets up the challenge to cut through partisanship and embrace some right ones. 
 
All the Wrong Moves is not about right and left. It’s about right and wrong. It is a portrait of America which has the clarity of an X-ray and is a blistering display of storytelling and analysis.
