      abstract = {Many fine books on the financial crisis were first drafts  of history--books written quickly to fill the need for  immediate understanding. Alan S. Blinder, former vice  chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, held off, taking the  time to understand the crisis and create a truly  comprehensive and coherent narrative of how the worst  economic crisis in postwar American history happened, what  the government did to fight it, and what we must do from  here--mired as we still are in its wreckage. Blinder shows  how the U.S. financial system, grown far too complex for  its own good--and too unregulated for the public  good--experienced a perfect storm beginning in 2007. When  America's financial structure crumbled, the damage proved  to be not only deep, but wide. It took the crisis for the  world to discover, to its horror, just how truly  interconnected--and fragile--the global financial system  is. Blinder offers clear-eyed answers to the questions  still before us, even if some of the choices ahead are as  divisive as they are unavoidable.--From publisher  description.},
