4.0 out of 5 stars Greenspan's Demolition Roadmap, October 15, 2010
This review is from: The Ropespinner Conspiracy (Paperback)
the ropespinner conspiracy is not a great thriller (hence 4 stars). but it makes one wonder about the motivations behind key players in the financial markets.

the clear objective of destabilising an economy by encouring banks and investment houses to fill their balance sheets with enormous quantities of "toxic securities". written in 1987, the year greenspan was appointed.

greenspan like the key protagonist was indoctrinated into a political philosophy by sex, as a member of ayn rand's clique. the parallels are uncanny.

did mr. thomas know what the munchkin of mayhem was planning? or did the munchkin use the book as a plan?

either way worth reading to see that risk analysts either have no imagination about potential outcomes or are far too specialized to have a broader understanding of human behavior and motivation.

a worthwhile read for the context and effects.
