For the second time this decade, the U.S. economy is in a recession due
to the collapse of a financial bubble.
Visionary economist Dean Baker's Plunder and Blunder chronicles the
growth and collapse of the stock and housing bubbles and explains how
policy blunders and greed led to the catastrophic-but completely
predictable-market meltdowns.
An expert guide to recent economic history, Baker offers policy
prescriptions to help prevent similar financial disaster.
"Dean Baker warned us what was coming. Alas, the government and most
economists ignored him. They denied that a housing bubble existed and
would soon collapse with devastating consequences. Now we can read why
Dean got it right when so many experts were blind. The story is
intriguing-and deeply disturbing."
