This critique begins by explaining the historical roots of the ideas that drive the financial sector, examines capitalism's historic pattern of booms and busts, and analyzes how the sector's "ten fatal flaws" contribute to this pattern.
An extended consideration of the crisis of 2007–08 and its aftermath shows those flaws at work, and a final chapter promotes ideas for reform. By peeling away layers of complexity, the author reveals financial markets to be quite different from commonly held assumptions, encouraging students to think critically about how the financial system works and how it affects their lives.
