Product Description   
“Mr. Minsky long argued markets were crisis prone. His 'moment' has arrived.” -The Wall Street Journal

In his seminal work, Minsky presents his groundbreaking financialtheory of investment, one that is startlingly relevant today. Heexplains why the American economy has experienced periods ofdebilitating inflation,rising unemployment, and marked slowdowns-andwhy the economy is now undergoing a credit crisis that he foresaw. Stabilizing an Unstable Economy covers:
   

• The natural inclination of complex, capitalist economies toward instability
• Booms and busts as unavoidable results of high-risk lending practices
• “Speculative finance” and its effect on investment and asset prices
• Government's role in bolstering consumption during times of high unemployment
• The need to increase Federal Reserve oversight of banks

Henry Kaufman, president, Henry Kaufman & Company, Inc., placesMinsky's prescient ideas in the context of today's financial marketsand institutions in a fascinating new preface. Two of Minsky'scolleagues,Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, Ph.D. and president, The Levy EconomicsInstitute of Bard College, and L. Randall Wray, Ph.D. and a seniorscholar at the Institute, also weigh in on Minsky's present relevancein today's economic scene in a new introduction.

A surge of interest in and respect for Hyman Minsky's ideas pervadesWall Street, as top economic thinkers and financial writers havestartedusing the phrase “Minsky moment” to describe America's turbulenteconomy. There has never been a more appropriate time to read thisclassic of economic theory.
