Dean Baker's new book on the housing bubble

Dean Baker was one of the few professional economists who recognized the housing bubble before its peak. Click the image to visit its page on Amazon.com.

From the product description:
Dean Baker argues not only that competent economists should have recognized the developing housing bubble, but also that policy makers and the media cheerfully neglected those economists who did predict danger.
The really sad thing is that not only did policy makers and the media ignore those who predicted danger, but they largely continue to ignore those who predicted danger.

The Huffington Post has a new interview with Dean Baker here.
