'If you've been wondering what Post Keynesian economics is all about, or if you've been searching for a better explanation of what went wrong in the 2000s, Paul Davidson's latest book is the place to look. Davidson is a thought leader in the field, writes lucidly, and refuses to accept the conventional wisdom as wise.'--Alan S.

Blinder, Princeton University'There has been much written about the global financial crisis that began in 2007 but little as succinct and wise as this book by Paul Davidson. A clear analysis of what went wrong, its real strength is in explaining what can be done to put matters right.' --Larry Elliott, Economics Editor, The Guardian
