Book Reviews of Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis ofAmerican Capitalism
Book Review: Better than most big-picture books out there.
Summary: 5 Stars
This quote from page 195 pretty much sums up what you will find in this book; "In the United States, political correctness, religious fundamentalism, and other inhibitions sometimes dumb down national debate." If that doesn't immediately ring true to you then you probably won't like the book because Phillips takes a non-partisan approach towards explaining what the future looks like for American exceptionalism (it ain't pretty). It's this hard-nosed, fact based and pragmatic look into the future that Phillips utilizes that makes me give it 5 stars unlike the 4 stars for Fareed Zakaria's The Post-American World. I highly recommend it.
