Summary

This book argues that the current financial turmoil signals a crisis in globalisation that will directly challenge the free market economic model. Turner shows that the housing bubbles in the West were deliberately created to mask the damage inflicted by companies shifting production abroad in an attempt to boost profits.--[back cover].
