Since the economic crash of 2008, publishers have been falling over themselves to publish books analyzing what happened from every conceivable angle. Most of those offerings are probably in the discount bin already, forgotten as quickly as they appeared. Somehow, among all that, Raj Patel managed to write a concise and insightful book that doesn't necessarily focus on the crash, yet perfectly illuminates why it happened. And it's something you'll actually enjoy reading!
