MELTDOWN A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse

Powerful and wealthy governments are scrambling to intervene in the world’s global financial markets in a desperate attempt to solve the current economic free fall. Woods believes that not only is government help NOT the answer, but that its heavy hand has brought us to this pass. Alan Sklar's interpretive voicing adds a note of stridency, which sometimes tends to relegate the book to the fringes of credibility. One wonders how effective this approach is as it compromises an otherwise well-written and articulate work. For Libertarian thinkers, free marketers, globalists, and anyone who seeks a contrarian view about how the world is responding to the current financial crises.
