A couple of books:
‘CREATIVE DESTRUCTION’ – THE MADNESS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

A Brief History of Neoliberalism By David Harvey


(Just an aside - last year I vividly remember as I was watching the news programmes as the first waves of the global financial crisis started to hit and was struck how positively gleeful the reporters came across - it was as if they were happy that they had some real news to report for once. Out came the big screen graphics and there where lots of animated charts, they could take to the streets for their 'vox pops'. It was complete 'the Day Today'.)

Talking of the news: "Charlie Brooker looks at the news's obsession with the credit crunch"
