　　We Have a World-Class Mess . . . Now What?

Amid the carnage of bankruptcies, soaring unemployment, and

millions of families losing their homes during the financial crisis

of 2007–2009 lay the bloody corpse of a set of ideas that had

underpinned the economics of the previous thirty years. A system

that had been delivering unprecedented prosperity on a global scale

suddenly teetered on the verge of collapse. Capitalism was

seemingly exposed as a house of cards. The blame game became a new

national pastime as doomsayers predicted the end of America’s

leadership of the world economy.

We’re at a crossroads, and decisions about how to reshape a

discredited capitalism will profoundly affect whether the coming

years will be ones of depression, stagnation, or renewed

prosperity.

Instant analysis since the collapse of the financial system in

the fall of 2008 has produced no end of ideas about what to

do—ranging from those of free market ideologues (let the market do

its work and damn the consequences) to extreme government

interventionists determined to keep the animal spirits of

capitalism penned up.

But if there is anything worse than toxic financial assets it is

toxic ideas. We need to reject the old orthodoxies and conventional

wisdoms. Matthew Bishop and Michael Green take a step back and

analyze what can be learned from financial crises of the past—from

the Tulip Craze of the seventeenth century through the Great

Depression of the 1930s, Japan’s Great Deflation, and the Long-Term

Capital debacle of the 1990s to the unprecedented interventions of

the government during the past year—to set the agenda for a

reformed twenty-first-century capitalism. The result is an

enlightening perspective on what set us on the road to ruin, as

well as road signs to guide us back to prosperity.

--Why bubbles are the consequence of financial innovations that

generate economic breakthroughs, but why it would be wrong to

abandon these inventions of the financial engineers. The Road from

Ruin explains how stifling innovation and risk-taking comes at a

huge cost to future prosperity.

--Why the economy needed a fiscal stimulus to recover from the

crisis. Bishop and Green show how economic dogmatists of the Right,

who opposed the stimulus, got it wrong, but warn that those on the

Left who want the stimulus to run and run could usher in a new era

of high inflation.

--Why company bosses became too focused on short-term results and

did not see the crisis coming. The Road from Ruin shows how we can

get business leaders to put the interests of society ahead of their

own pay-packets.

--The danger of focusing on the financial symptoms of the crisis

without tackling the underlying economic causes, such as the world

operating on the dollar standard. Bishop and Green show why the

role of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is not just a

problem for the rest of the world but for the United States as

well.

--Why many of capitalism’s champions—especially the advocates of

the efficient market hypothesis—lost touch with reality. The Road

from Ruin provides insights into new ideas in economics that

recognize how the complexity and irrationality of the human beings

who make up the economy can be harnessed to build a better

capitalism.

Remarkably, the issues we face today have presented themselves in

one form or another over the past three centuries. Matthew Bishop

and Michael Green skillfully draw both the lessons learned and

pre*ions for reform to prevent another catastrophic meltdown

and put America back on top.

We Have a World-Class Mess . . . Now What?

Amid the carnage of bankruptcies, soaring unemployment, and millions of families losing their homes during the financial crisis of 2007–2009 lay the bloody corpse of a set of ideas that had underpinned the economics of the previous thirty years. A system that had been delivering unprecedented prosperity on a global scale suddenly teetered on the verge of collapse. Capitalism was seemingly exposed as a house of cards. The blame game became a new national pastime as doomsayers predicted the end of America’s leadership of the world economy .

We’re at a crossroads, and decisions about how to reshape a discredited capitalism will profoundly affect whether the coming years will be ones of depression, stagnation, or renewed prosperity.

Instant analysis since the collapse of the financial system in the fall of 2008 has produced no end of ideas about what to do—ranging from those of free market ideologues (let the market do its work and damn the consequences) to extreme government interventionists determined to keep the animal spirits of capitalism penned up.
