In Adventures in Political Finance, Alex Pollock illuminates the workings of our financial system and explains why the inescapable uncertainty of knowing what's really going on in the economy leads inevitably, yes, inevitably, to crises and busts. The book is a compendium of Pollock's thoughts, observations, and discussions, which he's chosen from his writing over the past thirty-five years. Clear, down to earth, and witty, Pollock's account of the "dismal science" sparkles.
