Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy
Description
In this incisive examination of the 2008 financial crisis, the author traces how deregulation, flawed incentives, and failures in economic policy helped propel the United States—and the global economy—toward collapse. The book explores the human and international consequences of the crisis, from lost jobs and homes to widening inequality and weakened public trust. It challenges the assumption that unfettered markets reliably serve the public good and argues for reforms designed to restore accountability, stability, and shared prosperity. Combining economic expertise with clear, accessible analysis, the work offers both a critique of the crisis and a framework for preventing similar disasters in the future.
