Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse by Thomas E. Woods
Type: Business, Economics
My rating: 5 stars (out of 5)
Why I chose it: Tom Woods is a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which is the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. I have a passionate interest in Austrian economics.
What I liked about it: 5-Star book alert! I am a very tough grader and will typically only rate about 10% of the books I read each year as a 5-Star. This book is an excellent read about what caused today's economic collapse, what the Federal Reserve's role was in it, and why the bailouts will make things worse. It is written in very plain English that the average person can read and understand. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a book to help you understand just what exactly happened and what could continue to happen if real change is not soon undertaken.
