Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance
author: Nouriel Roubini
name: Elaine
average rating: 3.81
book published: 2010
rating: 3
read at: 2011/06/06
date added: 2011/06/06
shelves: ebook, economics, history, politics
review:
The subtitle is lame, but the book is excellent. Good overview of the history of crisis in capitalism, something that was incredibly frequent prior to the reforms instituted during the Great Depression. Then a clear look at what got us into this particular crisis – and what didn’t – followed by an analysis of options for long-term improvements to the financial system. Definitely recommended.
