A 21-Book Review (Lo)

Reading about the financial crisis: A 21-Book review by Andrew W. Lo. “The recent financial crisis has generated many distinct perspectives from various quarters. In this article, l review a diverse set of 21 books on the crisis, 11 written by academics, and 10 written by journalists and one former Treasury Secretary. No single narrative emerges from this broad and often contradictory collection of interpretations, but the sheer variety of conclusions is informative, and underscores the desperate need for the economics profession to establish a single set of facts from which more accurate inferences and narratives can be constructed.” See PDF Attached
