NoNonsense The Money Crisis

Bankers and speculators build castles in the air but when they come crashing down ordinary people have to pick up the tab. How we've made such a mess of our money system is explained, from the earliest banks right through to «collateralized debt obligations.» The author suggests the framework for a fairer financial world: the practical ideas, required regulations, and real-life examples.
