«How Do We Fix This Mess?» is the economics essay by Robert Peston and Laurence Knight, published by Hodder Paperback in paperback (472 pages, in English).
The book explains how the 2007/2008 financial crisis came about: the 1992-2008 boom rested on illusions such as consuming more than one earned and unsustainable debt. It reviews who failed —bankers, investors, regulators, governments and consumers— and proposes an economy based on investment and exports, not debt and consumption.
The full title includes the subtitle The Economic Price of Having It All and the Route to Lasting Prosperity. Published on 11 April 2013.
Aimed at readers with an interest in economics and finance who want to understand the 2008 crisis and its consequences, with an accessible approach.
