| Summary |
"Matthew Bishop and Michael Green first take a step back and analyze what can be learned from financial crises of the past-from the Tulip Craze of the seventeenth century through the Great Depression of the 1930s, Japan's Great Deflation, and the Long-Term Capital debacle of the 1990s to the unprecedented interventions of the government during the past year-to set the agenda for a reformed twenty-first-century capitalism."--Jacket. |
