It shows why the bailout has been only marginally effective and  how it could have been much more so, and outlines the enormous opportunity - not yet taken - to design a new global financial architecture. It is highly  critical of many of the actions not only of George Bush's administration, but  also of Barack Obama's. It shows why the bulk of the cost of recovery should  be borne by those in the financial sector - not just for reasons of natural  justice, but for compelling economic reasons also. More than any of this, it  reminds readers to think constantly about what economies are for, and the  human purposes they serve. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFreefall\u003c\/i\u003e is an instant classic, combining an enthralling whodunit account of the current crisis with a bracing discussion of the broader economic issues at stake.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67451908358302,"sku":"UBD-9780141045122","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141045122.jpg?v=1790835418","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141045122","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
