Reviews
'Colin Read has presented a useful account of the modern financial system and the pitfalls of the current regulatory structure. This book will be very helpful to those trying to make sense of the current financial crisis' - Dean Baker, Co-Director, Center for Economic Policy Research, Washington, D.C., USA 'Professor Read adroitly straddles the divide between arcane economic reasoning and the layperson's appetite for understanding the intricacies of the modern financial system. The book presumes some basic knowledge of economics in its coverage of a rather extensive landscape of topics. At the same time, it eschews heavy theoretical exposition in favor of a conversational approach with moorings at key points in history and a blend of social commentary. Professor Read is thoughtful and provocative in building toward his global prescriptions for a better economic future.' - Wade Thomas, Professor of Economics, State University of New York College at Oneonta, USA 'GetAbstract recommends this comprehensive manual to anyone who wants a firmer, basic understanding of economics.' - getAbstract.com, "Colin Read has presented a useful account of the modern financial system and the pitfalls of the current regulatory structure.

    I've ordered 48 movies and a CD or two. Every one of them are in a condition equal to or greater than described. Descriptions are accurate and honest. You know they've looked at every disc they send you because there is a packing slip inside each item's case. Items are well-packed and shipped quickly. I can't say enough about the consistency of quality. And the various sales make buying here a good value. Very professional. This is my new go-to online store. I have 18 more DVDs on the way...
