Description

Now newly expanded, Financial Fiasco digs deep into the foundation of the economic meltdown, revealing the way it used to be the product of conscious actions by consumers, in addition to decisionmakers in companies, government agencies, and political institutions. An easily accessible work written for general readers, Financial Fiasco tells the compelling story of how ate-cutting by the Federal Reserve inflated the actual estate market and fueled increased risk-taking within the financial markets; how new government policies to advertise home ownership blasted air into the credit bubble; how new financial instruments, credit-rating requirements, and accounting rules intended to forestall cheating backfired; and a lot more. Financial Fiasco guides readers through a world of irresponsible behavior, warns that among the “solutions” being implemented repeat the mistakes that caused the crisis, and offers guidance on the way to move forward.
