ITEM OVERVIEW
Are we on the verge of another great stock market crash? How do derivatives work, and how did they bring down one of the biggest banks in the world? Here is the book for all of us who didn't make it far in our study of the dismal science of economics. Henwood did, and his writing remains clear, bitter, and funny. He is the editor of the renowned Left Business Observer. "Indispensable to anyone who wants to know where our economy is, where it is going, and why." —Eric Foner
"You are scum...it is tragic that you exist." —Norman Pearlestine, previously executive editor of the Wall Street Journal
