Using an unconventional blend of historical analysis with a masterful knowledge of global economics, this book presents proves calamities to be not only predictable but also preventable and, with the right medicine, curable.
Praise for Crisis Economics
"A rigorous yet highly readable look at why booms and busts occur and how to keep them from wreaking havoc on the real economy."
“A succinct, lucid, and compelling account of the causes and consequences of the great meltdown of 2008. Essential reading for anyone interested in getting a crisp overview of how the global financial system seized up in the fall of 2008 and what may happen in the months and years to come if serious reforms and new regulations are not embraced.”
— Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
“An impressive, timely argument on behalf of transparency and stability for a financial system conspicuously lacking both.”
— Kirkus Reviews
