Easy Money: The Greatest Ponzi Scheme Ever and How It Threatens to Destr Oy the Global Financial System - Paperback

by Vivek Kaul (Author)

The financial crisis of 2008 brought the world to a standstill. Banks and financial firms all over the world had to be rescued by governments - in effect, bailed out by the taxpayer.

But have things changed post 2008? Are financial firms and banks operating more responsibly?

Are they taking fewer risks than they did in the past? What will happen as and when the next financial crisis hits us?

Vivek Kaul answers these and many more questions on how the global financial system is operating in the post-financial-crisis era in the third book in the Easy Money series.
