Ever wonder why you can't refinance your home mortgage because other people stopped paying on theirs? Why young people in poor-paying jobs with small children are forced to pay a large percentage of their incomes to people who had decades to work and save? How healthcare and health insurance got so expensive?

In this witty, informative and nonpartisan overview of contemporary economic ills, author Robert E. Wright takes a fresh approach to public policy by finding fault with both the government and the market, and with both Democrats and Republicans. Wright convincingly shows that major economic trouble has almost always been the result of a hybrid failure, a combination of both bad policy making and marketplace deficiencies.
