The Financial Crash: Why It Happened, How It Affects You, How to Fix It

This book explains in simple language why the financial system crashed. It relates how our government, believing that what was good for Wall Street was good for Main Street, created conditions for a perfect storm. It shows what happens when governments fail to regulate the tendency of people to take risks with other people's money that they would never take with their own money. It assesses the damage and suggests ways of fixing the system.
