About this product
Product Information
We are living in the most reckless financial environment in recent history. Arcane credit derivative bets are now well into the tens of trillions. According to Charles R. Morris, the astronomical leverage at investment banks and their hedge fund and private equity clients virtually guarantees massive disruption in global markets. The crash, when it comes, will have no firebreaks. A quarter century of free-market zealotry that extolled asset stripping, abusive lending, and hedge fund secrecy will come crashing down with it. The Trillion Dollar Meltdown explains how we got here, and what is about to happen. After the crash our priorities will be quite different. But things are likely to get worse before they better. Whether you are an active investor, a homeowner, or a contributor to your 401(k) plan, The Trillion Dollar Meltdown will be indispensable to understanding the gross excess that has put the world economy on the brink—and what the new landscape will look like.

Reviews
"New York Times Notable Book of the Year" "[ The Trillion Dollar Meltdown ] is an absolutely excellent narrative of the horror that we have in the credit markets right now.... It's a wonderful explanation of how it happened and why it's so rotten, and why it will take a long time to unwind." -Paul Steiger, former Mng Editor, Wall Street Journal, "In his brief but brilliant book, Morris describes how we got into the mess we are in&. Few writers are as good as Morris at making financial arcana understandable and even fascinating." - New York Times Book Review , April 20, 2008, "Will provide some important background that will help decipher the meaning behind today's gloomy financial headlines. For those who wonder "Why?", here's a place to get some answers!" - Watsonville (CA) Register-Pajaronian , March 13, 2008, "In his brief but brilliant book, Morris describes how we got into the mess we are in…. Few writers are as good as Morris at making financial arcana understandable and even fascinating." - New York Times Book Review , April 20, 2008, "[A] shrewd primer... [Morris] writes with tight clarity and blistering pace." -James Pressley, Bloomberg News, "Will provide some important background that will help decipher the meaning behind today's gloomy financial headlines. For those who wonder "Why?", here's a place to get some answers!"-Watsonville (CA) Register-Pajaronian, March 13, 2008, "Morris offers a persuasive diagnosis of the long-building credit crash.... An especially graceful writer, Mr. Morris accessibly explains Wall Street's arcane instruments.... This is a smart layperson's guide."-The New York Times, April 6, 2008, "However up to date it may seem, this book is no rush job. Morris deftly joins the dots between the Keynesian liberalism of the 1960s, the crippling stagflation of the 1970s and the free-market experimentation of the 1980s and 1990s, before entering the world of ultra-cheap money and financial innovation gone mad... [Morris's] provocative book is...a well-aimed opening shot in a debate that will only grow louder in coming months."-Economist, March 6, 2008, "New York Times Notable Book of the Year""[The Trillion Dollar Meltdown] is an absolutely excellent narrative of the horror that we have in the credit markets right now....
