Reviews
“An excellent analysis of the financial crisis of 2008 by authors equipped to look broadly at the forces at work and focus deeply on the critical factors. The questionsthey raise concerning how far we have removed ourselves from the risk of a repeat are sobering, and their proposals for dealing more effectively with systemic risk than policymakers have to date are worth careful consideration.” (Jeffrey R Shafer, former vice Chairman of Citigroup’s Global Banking and Head of Economic and Political Strategies, USA)
