The Glenbrook team is devouring advance copies of “Priceless: The Case that Brought Down the Visa/MasterCard Bank Cartel” by Lloyd Constantine.

All I can say is “wow”!  This is juicy reading that I’m sure all payments professionals will want to add to their book bag!

From the advance material on the book:

415fpeqe2TL._SL160_.jpgPriceless offers readers an insider’s telling of the case that ended with the breakup of the Visa/Mastercard credit cartel and a $3.4 Billion settlement. Lloyd Constantine, founder of Constantine and Partners, the small boutique antitrust firm that could, and lead counsel on the Visa/Mastercard case, takes no prisoners as he tells his side of what happened in this very public lawsuit whose outcome continues to affect economics today.”

Priceless is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com. It’s scheduled for release on October 6.
