Inhaltsangabe

Perhaps no economist was more vindicated by the global financial crisis than Hyman P. Minsky (1919 - 96). Although a handful of economists raised alarms as early as 2000, Minsky's warnings began a half-century earlier, with writings that set out a compelling theory of financial instability. Yet even today he remains largely outside mainstream economics; few people have a good grasp of his writings, and fewer still understand their full importance. Why Minsky Matters makes the maverick economist's critically valuable insights accessible to general readers for the first time. L. Randall Wray shows that by understanding Minsky we will not only see the next crisis coming but we might be able to act quickly enough to prevent it.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Ever since the climax of the financial crisis in 2008–09, Hyman Minsky has become an iconic point of reference. Why Minsky Matters renders the authentic Minsky accessible to a wide readership for the first time. L. Randall Wray has a comprehensive grasp of Minsky's thought, and the capacity to express it in a compact, highly readable fashion. This is a book of rare clarity, importance, and usefulness."--James K. Galbraith, author of The End of Normal: The Great Crisis and the Future of Growth

"Hyman Minsky is the most important economist since Keynes, yet it's virtually impossible to find any books about him. Why Minsky Matters should be read not just by anyone who wants to understand Minsky, but anyone who wants to understand our economy. The reason, as L. Randall Wray makes obvious, is that Minsky does a better job of explaining the global financial crisis--and why it isn't over yet--than anyone else. Everyone should read this book."--Michael Pettis, author of The Great Rebalancing: Trade, Conflict, and the Perilous Road Ahead for the World Economy

"Intelligent, accessible, and clear, Why Minsky Matters brings Minsky's ideas to life and explains why they help us understand the world in which we live."--Steven M. Fazzari, coauthor of After the Great Recession
