The Crash of 2008 and What it Means: The New Paradigm for Financial Markets (9781586486990): George Soros: Books. Totally compelling. BBC Business editor Robert Peston They're wrong about oil, by George. In short, the standard economic assumption that supply and demand drive prices is only a starting point for understanding financial markets. In boom-bust cycles, the textbook theory is not just slightly inaccurate but totally wrong. This is the main argument made by George Soros in his fascinating book on the credit crunch, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets, launched at an LSE lecture last night. The Times The next generation of economists will have to understand financial bubbles rather than ignore them, as Greenspan and his fellow central bankers have done. They would be well advised to give Soros's theory of reflexivity serious consideration. Sunday Times (Soros) present(s) a very interesting and disturbing view of how free markets behave, and the nature and extent of the crisis we're in. Sunday Business Post This was a book that George Soros badly wanted to write. It is probably not what many of its readers expect to read. But it shows that in his deeper thinking about the way markets operate, Soros was several decades ahead of his time... His insights are clear and concisely expressed. They are worth reading for anyone interested in the topic. Financial Times The runners in the race for the White House should stop and listen to Soros. Independent on Sunday
