Financial crisis Quote by Anonymous
““That’s true, and it’s a serious problem. If you wanted to understand the roots of the financial crisis, you would have done better studying the Financial Instability Hypothesis of Hyman Minsky, a post-Keynesian, or the business-cycle theory of Knut Wicksell, one of the founders of the Stockholm school, than the standard neoclassical textbooks.””
