" This book explores the Austrian theory of the business cycle. Surprise! The boom-and-bust cycle we have grown so accustomed to (Boom in the 90's, bust in 2000. Boom in the 2000s, bust in 2008) wasn't caused by those greedy bankers or home builders, etc. etc. It was caused by government (the Fed) manipulation of interest rates. Unfortunately, it will predictably happen again and again until we either learn and abolish the Fed, or become a centrally planned economy as the old Soviet Union was. And those of us born before 1989 all know how that worked out for them. "
