About the Book: Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists: Unleashing the Power of
Financial Markets to Create Wealth and Spread Opportunity
An evaluation of the capitalist system and financial markets, co-authored by the
man who predicted the 2008 economic crisis
Capitalism, or more precisely, the free market system, is the most effective way
to organize production and distribution that human beings have found. Yet,
financial markets are among the most highly criticized and least understood
parts of the capitalist system. In Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists,
Raghuram G. Rajan and Luigi Zingales argue that healthy and competitive
financial markets are an extraordinarily effective tool in spreading opportunity
and fighting poverty.
