description: In this concise volume leading economist John B. Taylor offers empirical research to explain what caused the current financial crisis what prolonged it and what dramatically worsened it more than a year after it began. The evidence he presents strongly suggests that specific government actions and interventions are largely to blame and that any future government interventions must be based on a clearly stated diagnosis of the problem and a rationale for the interventions.
