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, which explain the populist backlash that brought Trump (and himself, briefly) to power in 2016. Now estranged from the MAGA 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, \u003ci\u003eAll the Wrong Moves \u003c\/i\u003eis smart, sharp, and self-aware.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Niall Ferguson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Ascent of Money\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Thoughtful, witty, and always provocative, this is a wonderfully insightful reflection on the Trump phenomenon. Anthony 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.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Dominic Sandbrook, co-host of \u003ci\u003eThe Rest Is History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Richard Haass, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Scaramucci's deep knowledge of the forces that have created our current political situation is presented here with great clarity and a sharp wit. \" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStanley Tucci, author of \u003ci\u003eTaste\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Kenneth S.

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.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKara Swisher\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e, author of \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurn Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\" \n\u003ci\u003eAll the Wrong Moves\u003c\/i\u003e is a profound, compelling, and deeply thought-provoking book.

Where did it come from? \u003ci\u003eAll the Wrong Moves\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new, eye-opening answer, rooted in history, business, and the author's firsthand experience, that reveals the true origins of America's current political crisis.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \n\u003ci\u003eAll the Wrong Moves\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony Scaramucci charts how both political parties, over three decades, made a series of catastrophic decisions that quietly dismantled the system supporting the American dream. First came Bill Clinton's trade deal with China, which opened U.S. markets while abandoning American workers. Next, George W. Bush's choice to wage war while cutting taxes, exploding the deficit. Finally, Barack Obama's bank bailout, which saved Wall Street but left millions of ordinary families behind. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump's rise and his ongoing assault on democracy and the rule of law. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the trading floors of Wall Street to the corridors of Washington, Scaramucci has witnessed how money, ambition, and hubris reshaped American politics. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he brings a rare insider's perspective to how both parties lost touch with the people they once represented. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \n\u003ci\u003eAll the Wrong Moves\u003c\/i\u003e isn't just about how we got here--it's about how we get out. Scaramucci lays out practical solutions, including economic policies to rebuild opportunity for the working class and constitutional reforms to protect our democracy. It's a sharp, surprising critique that cuts through partisanship and challenges readers on the left, right, and center to reclaim what the American dream was always meant to be. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 70 (EAN 9781250437563, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eScaramucci, Anthony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnthony Scaramucci\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio.
