The mainstream pundits tell us that no one anticipated the massive economic shocks of the past few years. This collection debunks that myth and many other misdiagnoses of the current crisis. More than 60 well-researched, clearly written articles explain the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to the ongoing economic crisis. Chapters focus on the housing boom and bust, the financial meltdown, Fed policy, fiscal stimulus, the impact on workers, global dimensions, and more. From publisher description.
