Rezensionen

"With characteristic wit and clarity [Galbraith] suggests that while good money may indeed be driven out by the bad, it is political suicide to assume that the suckers left holding the bad will take it lying down. . . . [T]here is no more current, more judicious, or more entertaining a perspective."--Kirkus
