From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"We want to make it clear at the outset that we are not devotees of any particular economist's thought, almost every school of economics has something relevant to say about the recent crisis, and our analysis relies on a range of thinkers. Keynes has his say, but so do other voices. In fact, we believe that understanding and managing crises requires a more holistic and eclectic approach than is perhaps customary. It's necessary to check ideology at the door and look at matters more dispassionately. Crises come in many colors, and what works in one situation may not work in another."

Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm, Crisis Economics, 2010
