| Publisher Description: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM THE FINANCIAL CRISIS?NOTHING. The informative bestseller that shows us where our economy went wrong--and what we can do about it--with a timely new introduction. One of the most important books to emerge from the 2008 economic crisis, this powerful wake-up call from financial expert John Allison has become a classic in the field. Now, in light of emerging global trends and shakeups in the stock market, the book's message is more timely than ever: The government should stop trying to fix our economy. The free market is our best and only hope. In this eye-opening book, Allison reveals: -How the Federal Reserve has even more power than before the Great Recession--and why this is a problem. -How Wall Street has been wrongly blamed for our slow economic recovery--and why it's Washington's fault. -How government regulations like Dodd Frank have burdened banks--and stifled growth. -How socialized medicine and entitlements drive up costs--and how government policies exacerbate unemployment and income inequality. -Why free market capitalism offers a proven cure for our economy--and how to make it work for all Americans. |
