Synopsis

Bored with endless grandstanding and people being wise after the event? Then, The Age of Instability is the one book you should read on the financial crisis. Setting the near collapse of the international financial markets and banking system in a global and historical context, Sunday Times Economics editor and bestselling author, David Smith, looks not only at the political and economic factors that contributed to the fall of Lehmans, collapse of Iceland and disintegration of the subprime mortgage market but also at the emergence of a culture of risk and greed that made it possible to believe that greed was good and the good times would last forever. The Age of Instability provides an authoritative yet accessible guide to what happened, where, and when with practical suggestions for what needs to happen next.

Media Reviews
As a guide through the treacherous and shifting landscape of the crisis, Smith has excellent credentials. He is a fine economics columnist: digestible for the general reader, but meaty enough to interest the cognoscenti, and - unlike many of those attempting to scrawl down their first drafts of the history of the past few years - he has no particular agenda, whether ideological, commercial or personal... Smith gives fair, even-handed treatment to some of the key controversies -- Ed Crooks * FT *
as good a practical guide and prospectus as the Queen could wish to read -- Christopher Fildes * Sunday Times *
