Great Analysis of Basics - [22 Oct 2008]
Phillips does a great job of describing the specific causal factors for the housing bubble and its related credit bubble. These are not frequently written about in the popular press and the "experts" (Paulson, Bernanke, et.al) don't talk about it either...

Phillips delivers again -- and he's scarier than Stephen King - [12 Oct 2008]
This is a fascinating and illuminating book that spares no blame for anyone who has contributed to the financial mess we now find ourselves steeped in. Democrats, Republicans, and financiers are all justifiably pilloried.
Some readers have unfairly ...

Great book if you have some knowledge of economics & securitization - [30 Sep 2008]
If you haven't studied (or educated yourself on) things like GNP, GDP and securitization this book isn't for you as the author implicitly assumes some knowledge of these things. I majored in economics in college and have worked in securitization and I...

Also with the rather rapid changing events in the financial market...

Good but pesamistic - [20 Sep 2008]
This book is very well researched and much of the financial market is playing out in the ways predicted by the book. I found it informative and very useful for a group discussion that my coworkers had on the topic as part of a Staff Ride.

Phillips Provides a Unique Perspective - [13 Sep 2008]
I thought I did a good job of keeping up with the collision of international finance and politics, but reading Bad Money made me realize how little I know. This book has completely shifted my perspective on the world economy and the U.S. diminishing role...
