I bought this book because I really wanted to understand all the pieces of the puzzle that the housing bubble and its consequences. This book is written confusingly politically motivated speech against the greedy bankers who enabled by the rating agencies. This release basically all the other players. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as Stiglitz, have decided to “join the party” late in the game and were unbeatable. It does not say they were only partially privatized, “” enjoyed in this sense as loan collateral implicit U.S. government and Congress has refused to check if “joined the party.” Perhaps the book was better, I could not finish because the writing was disjointed and confusing. Rating: 1 / 5
This book is poorly organized, and repeats what is difficult now publicly known about the incompetence, often unskilled, and provide the private sector increasingly selfish and public, which led to the tough economic circumstances have the current crisis. The author expresses little moral outrage and, ultimately, neither demands nor offers a calendar of solutions or penalties. The scope of the problems outlined above require an activist, not a secretary. Rating: 1 / 5
Talk about the implementation of all there. This book provides that and much more! It is unfortunate that this book was not written before these events, but it was a book that was published in January 2008 (What Greenspan Can not Tell You) that’s why we defined at the threshold and what would happen. You can give a reading of what comes next. Rating: 5 / 5

A map with a scale of one to one, is as useless as a lack of economic theory assumptions. We are paralyzed, without assumptions that appear to be of the sheer complexity of human rien.Peu the size of the task of realizing the economy provided immobilized. The economic theory is based on an understanding of human decision making is based. Our understanding of the economy can never be a function of our understanding of ourselves mêmes.En September 2008, with historical institutions in ruins, how do you feel? How did you react? What have you done? How do you influence your friends? Economists are forecasting the need for your reply. Since the reaction of another person. Is this an easy task? Economists can not model the “real man.” They do not fit into our theories. We could easily power of the sun in a wooden box, you are obliged to our math. They have their own form. We do not know. And change it on a quotidienne.La modern theory of economic power, such as anger Stiglitz, recognized the impossibility of our task in a quite disgraceful. A correct answer in the face of this difficulty would be an appeal to science for help. Long ago, we began the construction of the approximation as close as possible to human nature. We would have learned that all decisions of the people is best. We are very complex, we are social, we are often irrationnels.L “economic approach is not a comprehensive study of psychology. Economists have worked in the opposite direction. They found the assumptions that guided their theories and flowing concrete conclusions. People have actually been as deities modeled know. all rational beings, bizarre about the powers of time and space. Strange assumptions to draw conclusions. The market (meeting point) of the gods, needed no intervention. Deregulation has intensified. Greenspan, the maestro. entier.Et Liberalism worldwide then implosion. Stiglitz and Krugman deserve great credit for standing up against the consensus. They argue that the rational economy. keynésienne.Ceci post is a wonderful book. Rating: 5 / 5
