Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy
Barry Ritholtz, one of today’s most popular economic bloggers and a well-established industry pundit, mixes financial history with an insider’s knowledge of modern finance to reveal how we’ve arrived at one of the worst economic crises ever. Engaging and informative, this book skillfully explores how the United States evolved from a rugged independent nation to a soft Bailout Nation-where financial firms are allowed to self-regulate in good times, but are bailed out by taxpayers in bad times.
