How did we get to where we are? John Cassidy shows that the roots of our most recent financial failure lie not with individuals, but with an idea - the idea that markets are inherently rational. He gives us the big picture behind the financial headlines, tracing the rise and fall of free-market ideology from Adam Smith to Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan. Full of wit, sense and, above all, a deep understanding, "How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities" argues for the end of "utopian" economics, and the beginning of a pragmatic, reality-based way of thinking.
