This title offers a witty yet insightful look at the economic ills that have affected America and most of the Western world. Ever wonder why we allow six guys in hardhats to stand around drinking tea while traffic jams build up all around them? Why you can't refinance your mortgage because other people stopped paying theirs? Or why even the simplest of insurance policies have become hugely expensive? If you've asked yourself any of these questions, or got queasy contemplating what passes for economic analysis in the media, this is the book for you! "Fubarnomics" provides readers with a witty and informative overview of contemporary and historic economic ills - from higher education to the Great Depression. It also offers unique insight into the recent crippling recession, including the often baffling subprime mortgage meltdown that many believe started the ball rolling.
