About this product
Product Information
In Casino Capitalism Hans-Werner Sinn examines the causes of the banking crisis, points out the flaws in the economic rescue packages, and presents a master plan for the reform of financial markets. Sinn argues that the crisis came about because limited liability induced both Wall Street and Main Street to gamble with real estate properties. He meticulously describes the process of lending to American homeowners and criticizes both the process of securitizing and selling mortgage claims to the world, as well as the poor job rating agencies did in providing transparency. He argues that the American Dream has ended because the world now realizes that this dream was built on loans that are never likely to be repaid. Sinn also asserts that the banking crisis has not yet been resolved, because the necessary write-offs of toxic assets have largely been swept under the carpet. Comparing actual worldwide write-offs with those estimated by the IMF estimates, he concludes that substantial parts, if not most, of the true losses have yet to be revealed and that the banking systems of many countries are on the brink of insolvency. In view of this, he directs sharp criticism at the various economic rescue packages, arguing that the plans assume that banks have a liquidity problem while, in fact, they suffer from a solvency crisis. Sinn points out that the conflict between the goals of rescuing banks in the short term and inducing more prudent behaviour in the long term requires the government to help the banks, but not their shareholders, by becoming a temporary co-owner. In addition, he calls for higher equity requirements, a worldwide return to more cautious accounting methods, a ban on extremely speculative short selling, and strict regulations on conduits, hedge funds and credit default swaps.This authoritative account provides an invaluable overview for academics, students, policymakers, politicians, and all those with an interest in the unprecedented 2008 banking crisis.

Recommended seller. CD dispatched promptly, seller not responsible for slight delay in delivery. Undamaged in transit, condition as described (very good). Competitive price for a rare 3-CD boxed set. No problems. Many thanks.

Arrived damaged - contrary to description. Large hardback packaged in jiffy bag. Probably damaged in transit -- sturdier packaging might have helped.
Contacted seller to try to resolve (with photos). No reply. At time of purchase a number were of this price. Prices since had jumped up. I was interested in a resolution that involved keeping it - even if it meant a damaged gift.
Would only use this seller for items where the condition is irrelevant and the price muuuuuch cheaper.

Item in Good condition as described (artwork/case in excellent condition, a few noticeable marks on disc but plays fine so no problem); delivery slightly later than estimate (was dispatched quickly and with tracking available, as have multiple previous orders which all arrived in around a week, so almost certainly just a bit of Easter disruption to postal services); safely packaged in padded envelope. Many thanks for usual excellent service at a great price.
