ECONned

Meer over het boek

"In ECONned, Yves Smith draws a direct connection between fundamentally flawed financial theories and a series of crises that culminated in the global meltdown of 2007 and 2008. This devastating critique shows that the pursuit of unenlightened self interest has produced a financial services industry that is a doomsday machine, systematically predatory, and now hugely powerful thanks to its control of vital financial infrastructure." "This is the first book to put the financial crisis in its proper context, as not merely a subprime mortgage meltdown, but the inevitable culmination of a process building over decades yet endorsed by mainstream economists and enabled by their flawed precepts."--Jacket
