Financial Fiasco
Watch Swedish writer Johan Norberg talk about his very accesible new book: Financial Fiasco: How America's Infatuation with Homeownership and Easy Money Created the Economic Crisis.
In his new book, Norberg explains the story of how government intervention to solve previous crises laid the foundation for a new one. Quite eye-opening and interesting when thinking about the current worldwide crisis and trying to analyze its roots.
"An easily accessible work on the economic crisis, the book guides readers through a world of irresponsible behavior, showing how many of the “solutions” being implemented are repeating the mistakes that caused the crisis."
