Description: "Mainstream media and mainstream economists have blamed today's financial crisis on a failure of "free markets." This course sets the record straight. Dr. Brook describes the actual evolution of the crisis, from the government policies that gave rise to it to the unprecedented expansion of government control over the economy that has followed. He places special emphasis on illustrating how this crisis is an example of the Austrian economists' business cycle theory." -- Website.
