Does she mention Minsky anywhere? I never finished the book. I think the problem is that she's a standard journalist, starting with empirical data, not (explicit) theory. Her theory is likely that shared by most financial journalists. Her experience likely is pointing her toward Marx _et al_, but she hasn't gotten there yet. Just guessing. -- Jim Devine / "Living a life of quiet desperation -- but always with style!" _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
