Description - The Trouble with Markets by Roger Bootle

The Trouble With Markets is a topical and thought-provoking exploration of both our economic future and the future of the market system itself.

Now available in paperback, Bootle (one of the city's best-known economists) not only offers a serious critique of the free-market mindset, but also a plan for radical reform of the system and a way out of the economic mess. With his trademark clarity and acerbic wit, Roger Bootl's book lays out the pathway for saving capitalism from itself.

An excellent explanation of what led to the 'Great Implosion'. What marks this book out is the admirable care that Bootle has taken to address concerns that a reader who is new to the topic might have. Bootle is also diligent in shooting down some of the most common canards that have flapped their way through the crisis. A clear and cogent guide to the problems - and the solutions - that lie ahead. Financial Times

Bootle's book deserves attention because he has been broadly right about this cycle: he warned of the dangers of the asset bubble and the likelihood of the downturn being much more serious than forecasters predicted, but equally he was not one of the 'depressionists'. Where Bootle is helpful is in his tone of moderation. The Independent
