According to Unintended Consequences, the conventional wisdom masks the real causes of our economic disruption and puts us at risk of a slew of unintended—and potentially dangerous—consequences. It’s a fascinating and contrarian case for how the economy really works, what went wrong over the past decade, and what steps we can take to start growing again.

Interesting perspective but too much repetition
Revisado: 08-25-12
The strength of the book was that it provided a window into the mind of an equity investor. It also provided a reasonably good description of the role of investment and risk taking in long term economic growth. The author's views of the causes of the financial crisis are interesting (it was just a run on the banks that the government turned into a panic by over reacting) and worth considering although I did not find it fully convincing. His representation of subprime borrowers bordered on the cartoonish, and his commentary on Roe V. Wade was unexpected but instructive. Some of his repetition of points was useful for emphasis but by the end of the book I found it annoying and boring.
