Book Review: Reckless Endangerment: A Wall Street-Washington Incestuous Legacy and A MUST READ

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 21st, 2012 3:33 PM |

Years from now when people study what led to the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, they will have plenty of material to review. This is good.

Unlike our current era in which we clearly failed to learn from past crises, I hope future generations will not only study what led to our current crisis but then actually do something so it is not repeated. We have yet to begin that process.
