Bubbles Always Burst: the Education of an Economist Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Spouting ostensible free market ideology, the pro-creditor mainstream rejects what the classical economic reformers actually wrote.

The Trouble With Billionaires Resource Type: Book Published: 2010 The glittering lives of billionaires may seem to be a harmless source of entertainment, but authors Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks argue that such financial power not only threatends everyone's economic and social well-being but also upsets the very functioning of democracy. Our society tends to regard great wealth as evidence of exceptional talent or accomplishment. Yet spectacular fortunes are often attributable to luck, ruthlessness, cheating, or advantageous positioning that allow some to build on the work and insights of others who have paved the way.
