Really worthwhile short read on the global economy
March 20, 2014
I very strongly did not like this book. There is some interesting information here but the author seems to be saying that every financial person in the world is an idiot and the only sensible person is him. Apparently, if only the author was running the world, then the global financial crisis would have been fixed overnight and we'd all be relaxing in our mansions now.
