review 1: Good easy read on how a small minority of powerful rich in America have raped and pillaged other countries using debt as their weapon, and then finally how they then turned on their own people and screwed America. Written for an insiders perspective it is factual, frightening and enlightening.Educate yourself on what has really been going on behind the corporate controlled media garbage we've been spoon fed. The second half of the book covers strategies re what we can do about it.Perkins is an interesting guy. He's spent time as a economic hit man, the reformed himself and spent time with some incredible leaders including the Dali Lama, founder of Oxfam, international political leaders etc. Great read - get the book!
review 2: This book is definitely enjoyable... more, entertaining and gives you good hopes. But its not what the title says..\in this book perkins do explain some policies followed by the free market that led to the crises, but he didn't explain how did the crises happened technically.he didnt differentiate between whats an economical theories and between those who took advantage of it.fredrich von hayek was a pro free market advocate his entire life, only when he was really old the markets started to take the shape he believed in.its not his fault that the system was manipulated with and led to the crises, its the fault of the unworthy, the fault of the heartless criminals who overdosed the market and took advantage of the ignorant. i believe that perkins should differentiate between those two, sometimes being an economist is just like being a philosopher, you have a system that you believe in thats all, how is it manipulated with..thats not your fault..the book is divided into 2 parts, one part is considered the problem, the other one is the solution, its brief and in the solution part perkins turns all positive in explaining some conscious capitalism he believes should be implemented.over all, its a nice read, i'll give it four stars for his writing style, courage and some very very detailed explicit conclusions that requires an expert to reach to. less
