| The Subprime Solution |
|
| Robert Shiller, Princeton University Press, 2008, 208 pages, £9.95. |
| This is an important book from a distinguished academic. Not long ago it might have seemed alarmist, but now, in the wake of nationalizations and the demise of the American investment banking model, it looks remark-ably prescient. The argument is straightforward, the prose clear and concise. |
