He was right in predicting the crash, but he's wrong about the cause for it and how to fix it .... ( ) Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance by Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm is a non-fiction financial book. I thought Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance by Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm was a very interesting book, offering solutions to a stabilize the financial system. Even though the book might no longer be as relevant as it was when it was written, it is still fascinating. The book gives a good overview of capitalism from the point of view of the crisis that happens every once in a while, before and after reforms. The authors give a clear look about the crisis of 2008 and what got us into it, as well as what long-term improvements should be done. The authors go on to give some good, solid advice which is likely never to be implemented. Much of the proposals are politically poisonous (letting the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010), or will not gain support in government and especially with the financial industry. The book ends with a gloomy look into the future – some of it seems to be coming true these days (China starting to fall, Europe is on financial brink). A very interesting book for those who want to an overview of the financial crisis without going into too much detail or more complex reading. For more reviews and bookish posts please visit: http://www.ManOfLaBook.com A little disappointing- the book isn't all that well organized, the 'solutions' offered are focused almost entirely on stabilizing the financial system, and it's frightening to see how quickly a book like this can be outdated. Now obviously the problem of being outdated can't be laid at the authors' feet; and there's nothing particularly wrong with wanting to stabilize the financial system. I just come from a different world: when you promise 'radical' measures, I don't expect things like "do a better job regulating derivatives, and break up the too big to fail banks." I'm not sure what I expected, but certainly something more highly charged than that. This isn't at all a guide to crisis economics. It's a guide to regulating the financial sector after one particular crisis. As for organization, I suspect they just tried to do too much- a history of the crash, complete with explanation of every term; a list of proposed and pursued solutions; a list of their preferred solutions. The prose is skimmable, an perfectly clear, but also made me sleepy. All that said, it's probably a good one stop shop for those who are curious but can't be bothered reading more than one book. The subtitle is lame, but the book is excellent. Good overview of the history of crisis in capitalism, something that was incredibly frequent prior to the reforms instituted during the Great Depression. Then a clear look at what got us into this particular crisis - and what didn't - followed by an analysis of options for long-term improvements to the financial system. Definitely recommended.
In view of Roubini’s reputation as a wild man and doomsayer, their book breaks surprisingly little new ground. But it is a very good primer on how finance gone bad can wreck an otherwise healthy economy. Menzioni
This myth-shattering book reveals the methods Roubini used to foretell the current crisis before other economists saw it coming and shows how those methods can help to make sense of the present and prepare for the future. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
