Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse

Thomas Woods

About the Program

The author provides an analysis of the financial market's degeneration from a conservative perspective.  That analysis includes the assertion that the media has created a myth of a crisis so complicated that people should not question government's response to it, and that capitalism and deregulation are the reasons for the "crisis".  Ultimately, Mr. Woods says a new financial system is needed.
