Meltdown

Fully updated new edition of an acclaimed report on the global financial crisis.

A page-turning account ... Mason is refreshingly clear-eyed-and angry.

Excellent.

What people need is a reliable guide to the financial crisis ... Meltdown is the book they are looking for.

A lucid and sharply polemical account.
