The Secret War on America's Credit Unions - Paperback

by Michael McKelly (Author)

Since 1937, American bankers have been waging a public relations and legislative war on the nation's credit unions. They claim that credit unions don't pay taxes, don't play by the same rules, and have an unfair advantage over community banks. This pamphlet explores the validity of these claims, and proposes an effective response for credit union professionals and advocates.
