Invisible Bankers
Invisible Bankers: Everything the Insurance Industry Never Wanted You to Know is a 1982 book on the insurance industry. The first guide to ordinary consumers into both the math and the business side of insurance, author Andrew Tobias explains how insurance works, reveals little-known facts about the industry, and suggests ways it could be improved. Invisible Bankers also covers the financial details of life, auto, health and fire insurance —the types consumers normally buy.
