Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse

Descriere

We can probably expect an avalanche of books in the coming months that purport to tell us what happened to the economy and what we should do about it. They'll be dead wrong and most of the advice they provide will be dreadfull.

That's why Meltdown is so important. This book actually gets things right. It correctly identifies our problems, their causes, and what we should do about them.

Which brave few economists predicted the economic fallout-and why nobody listened
What really caused the collapse
Why the Fed-not taxpayers-should have to answer for the current economic crisis
Why bailouts are band-aids that will only provide temporary relief and ultimately make things worse
What we should do instead, to put our economy on a healthy path to recovery
