Interesting information on banking history and the junk loans they gathered in the eighties, but overall the effect is greatly diminished because the book is 10 years old and not only predicts, but is sure of, that the nineties will be a decade of recession, only question being how severe. Taking in the fact that the nineties turned out to be an incredible growth period, it's hard accepting anything else said in the book at face value. Still, very entertaining reading.
