Fat Cat: Steve Mnuchin is a non-fiction book about United States Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin by Rebecca Burns and David Dayen published in 2018.

Summary
The book portrayed Munchin in a negative light. The authors wrote about Munchin's early years as son of a successful Goldman Sachs partner through his own prosperous career on Wall Street to his current role in President Trump's cabinet as Treasury Secretary. Burns and Dayen wrote detailed accounts of how Mnuchin has earned the nickname "Foreclosure King" while working at OneWest Bank from 2009 to 2015. They noted that, among the seniors who lost their homes through OneWest's foreclosure process, was a woman who was reportedly foreclosed on over $0.27. They described the February 26, 2018 UCLA event hosted by the Burkle Center for International Relations, during which Mnuchin was constantly booed and heckled during his talk about the American economy. Protesters were critical of the December 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
