I bought this book back in spring, but read 3 chapters and got side-tracked. I pick it back up off my book case last week and read it from front to back. Probably one of best economic/finance type book I have ever read. Give it a read if you want something to read.

This guy tells story of everything we built to attempt make risk small, or built to achieve better market outcome, has in fact made things worse. Great read.
