كيف تفشل الأسواق by سمير كريم, John Cassidy
5.0
There are books out there on the Great Recession that are daring tales of people who challenged the conventional wisdom and made a killing, or those who got greedy and arrogant and lost huge treasures. This book isn't one of those.
In this book, Cassidy explains—perhaps more clearly than most anyone else—how we got into this mess in the first place. It was, at its root, a problem of perverse incentives and a powerful belief in the self-regulating, self-healing properties of the market. People like Alan Greenspan, the former head of the Federal Reserve, seem to have imagined that the economy was like Wolverine from the X-Men: He can get flung off a building and get a huge gash in his arm, and it quickly sews itself shut and heals over with not a scar showing.
