Dubyah's new clothes
This excellent, accessible, and extremely well documented integration of the economics, administrative infrastructure and politics of the economy is a must read.Canterbery clearly deflates current politically correct talking point that Dubyah's skewed tax cut is in any meaningful way related to "capital formation". With only 5% of the transactions in the stock and bond market attributable to the "primary" capital raising markets (i.e. IPOs and new treasury debt) the churning of the remaining 95% of the secondary market is the "overhead" that's necessary to achieve "efficient" pricing for capital. That's like a shop owner who has to sustain $95 in operating overhead to keep his store open in order to make $5 in sales. Deconstructing the Myth of the "Millionaire Next Door"
The past decade of financial euphoria has slowly built in the public'smind the myth of the "millionaire next door," and the belief thatdemocratic redistribution, through capital markets accessible to all,existed. This book, owing to a thorough analysis of the US capital markets,definitely draws an accurate and realistic picture of who the real"winners" are.The answer is explosive and the statements fullybacked up with data. If you want to have a better understanding of how theFed, the government, and the markets have been creating this "dreamcome true," this book is definitely a must read.

Theresult is an economy that is producing goods and services at a rate that iswell below its capacity to produce, reducing the standard of living of allbut those few who are winning the speculative Wall Street lottery. The bookis written in an engaging style with plenty of data to back up the claims.A very important book for a very crucial time in the economic history ofthe US. ... Read more
