Classic Formula
This book is a must-read for understanding the current economic situation. The 1990s tech bubble, which turned into the housing bubble, was just a classic case of a financial bubble. In each case, they all thought they were smarter than previous generations, and that somehow the "New Economy" had changed the rules. The end result was always a financial depression that sometimes lasted for decades.
Rather than head scratching about "what happened", which is also a classic response to the bubble bursting, reading a bit of economic history shows that this is nothing new, and that our generation and our nation is not immune from typical human economic behavior.
