Opis

A review of the headlines of the past decade seems to show that disasters are often part of capitalist systems: the high-tech bubble, the Enron fraud, the Madoff Ponzi scheme, the great housing bubble, massive lay-offs, and a widening income gap. Disenchantment with the market economy has reached the point that many even question capitalism itself.

Recenzje

clear and concise ... In addition to public choice scholars, anyone interested in monetary policy should read this book, because it ties the monetary history of the United States over the last 100 years into a larger context of democratic failure and intervention.
