5.0 out of 5 starsthe cream of the crop
By Alan G. Nasser Sr. on July 14, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've been teaching political economy and economics for at least 30 years, am finishing up my own book and I make a point of reading just about everything I can on contemporary political economic issues. Hudson's book is as good as they get, and better. The scholarship, understanding of the details of finance and historical literacy on display is quite stunning. This is a remarkable book and the best of its kind I've read, by far. The current edition has an index, a huge plus over the first edition.

This is the best you'll find. Most highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Incisive Attack on Neoliberal Economics
By Dick_Burkhart on April 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
Michael Hudson’s book is full of memorable insights and quotes on the corruption and dysfunction produced by the financialization of our economy. Such as “mortgage bankers receive the rents formerly taken by a hereditary aristocracy” and “’free markets’ for predatory lending and unearned income”. But with a good editor, the book would be a thin volume with many readers instead of a fat volume with few.

Hudson writes in an expository style but for readers with some familiarity with the vocabulary and concepts of economics, from “monetarization” to “debt deflation”. Yet he elaborates on these concepts until the reader gets a good understanding (and outrage) via both historical thought (Adam Smith, Ricardo, Marx, etc.) and current examples (US housing bubble and corporate raiders, dollar imperialism and IMF austerity, etc.).

He has some strong recommendations related to debt, such as ending the tax deductibility of interest, raising taxes on capital gains, and debt forgiveness. Yet his treatment lacks the sweeping historical breadth of Piketty, especially in regard to economic growth and sustainability.

Hudson really tears into the “junk science” of the Chicago School of economics, starting with their failure to incorporate the key role of debt and compound interest in their economic models. In fact, he says that over 99% of financial transaction are involved, not with commerce and industry, but with things like bidding up asset prices, especially real estate and stocks, and arbitrage with foreign currencies and the like. He clearly exposes the underlying motive: to distract the public and politicians from what is really going on so that insiders and speculators can make a killing by avoiding taxes and regulations.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsUnderstanding why we all got screwed over... and why we're letting ourselves still get screwed over
By EugeSchu on March 11, 2016
Fantastic book, falls in the general line of Joseph Stieglitz and Yanis Varoufakis... wish price was a little bit lower to help distribution to a wider audience. Thank you
