The Origin of Financial Crises.Central Banks, Credit Bubbles, and the Efficient Market Fallacy (Vintage).

In a series of disarmingly simple arguments financial market analyst George Cooper challenges the core principles of today's economic orthodoxy and explains how we have created an economy that is inherently unstable and crisis prone.

His direct, conscientious, and honest approach will captivate any reader and is an invaluable aid in understanding today's economy.
