   @nathantankus thanks reading it. Btw, I recommend Doni Rodrik's The Globalization Paradox... he can be considered to be heterodox within mainstream. http://www.amazon.com/Globalization-Paradox-Democracy-Future-Economy/dp/0393071618 !books

    !books Sean has also recommended _Lords of Finance_ (Ahamed). This is only £5.33 from Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/009949308X/dannyyeesbook-21 which will be hard to resist.

    @ramanan thanks for the link...I got the book mainly because I expect to disagree with most of it! I plan to eventually write a Mule post debunking it. !books
