TitleThe Busts Keep Getting Bigger: Why?
URLhttp://www.nybooks.com/articles/archiv...
AbstractAuthors Paul Krugman and Robin Wells discuss the book, Age of Greed: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, 1970 to the Present. Told as a series of vignettes, the book highlights the fact that the financial crisis of 2008–2009, was not a “100-year flood”as it has been often culled, but rather, "the most recent installment in a recurrent pattern of financial overreach, taxpayer bailout, and subsequent Wall Street ingratitude."
