In the meantime, while we prepare the opening entry of this blog, the book "Fragile like Glass" can give you a first impression of where our ideas are. It has been written by me, Antonio, with tremendously useful comments from Andrea, so one can say that the book is really a common effort.
To open your appetite, the book tries to provide convincing answers to questions such as how did we get into this deep financial crisis? why "Europe is
different"? is it enough with an increase in the capital requirements of
banks? are incentives of everybody in the financial system aligned with
the common good? are policies aiming at the right target? what should
be done to mitigate the effects of this crisis? and to prevent the next
one?
The book is
written in a didactic way which also those with no economic background
can understand and follow.
The book is currently only available as an e-book (for 5.45€), but, for those more classic, the paper version should be here soon. You can buy it by clicking in this icon
