The authors develop this theory in detail, including clear analysis of the data, terms, and policies that dominate discussion of the crash. Based on their understanding of the origins of the crisis, they propose a program for reform that is equally dependent on popular action and changes in government policy. The book's engaging prose makes it appealing both to students and 606 $aFinancial crises -- United States 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aRecessions -- United States 606 $aUnited States -- Economic conditions -- 2009- 606 $aUnited States -- Economic policy -- 2009- 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 606 $aEconomic History$2HILCC 615 4$aFinancial crises -- United States. 615 4$aInternational economic relations. 615 4$aRecessions -- United States. 615 4$aUnited States -- Economic conditions -- 2009-. 615 4$aUnited States -- Economic policy -- 2009-. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 615 7$aEconomic History 676 $a330.973 700 $aMacEwan$b Arthur$0145837 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796459903321 996 $aEconomic Collapse, Economic Change$93846811 997 $aUNINA
