David Smith, economics editor of The Sunday Times and author of Free Lunch has just had his latest offering published- The Age of Instability.

Bored with endless grandstanding and people being wise after the event? Then, The Age of Instability is the one book you should read on the financial crisis. Setting the near collapse of the international financial markets and banking system in a global and historical context, Sunday Times Economics editor and bestselling author, David Smith, looks not only at the political and economic factors that contributed to the fall of Lehmans, collapse of Iceland and disintegration of the subprime mortgage market but also at the emergence of a culture of risk and greed that made it possible to believe that greed was good and the good times would last forever. The Age of Instability provides an authoritative yet accessible guide to what happened, where, and when with practical suggestions for what needs to happen next.

The book can be found on Amazon.

There was also a review in last weekend’s Sunday Times.
