Economy & Policy

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming …

By Justin Fox | October 27, 2009 | +

… to report a strange flurry of book-promotional activities. Yes, I am still promoting that stinkin’ book and, just in case anybody’s interested, I will be (I’m putting the list below the break so you don’t have to look at it if you don’t want):

1) a guest on Michelangelo Signorile’s Sirius XM radio show this afternoon at 3:30 (Sirius channel 109, XM 98)

2) speaking at Columbia Business School on the topic, “Should finance professors take the blame for the financial crisis?”, Wednesday at 6:30. They’re apparently not accepting “reservations” anymore, but if you’re interested, e-mail me.

3) a guest on CBC Radio’s The Current, which is available to non-Canadians on Sirius channel 137 as well as online, Thursday morning sometime after 8:30 Eastern. Ken Rogoff will be on right before me to talk about his and Carmen Reinhart’s new book, which I really need to start reading.

4) participating in discussion on the topic “Did Economists Get it Wrong?“, with Bob Shiller, Teresa Ghilarducci and David Adler, at the Museum of American Finance, Thursday evening at 5:30 (tickets required).

5) participating in a New York Salon discussion on “The Recession, Obama and the Future” with Bob Samuelson, Monday, Nov. 9 at 7 at the Barnes & Noble just north of Lincoln Center (tickets required).

    Stocks Rally Further in Run-up to EU Summit

    MOSCOW — Global stocks enjoyed one of their best days in weeks on Tuesday ahead of a summit of European leaders that’s expected to be dominated by calls to boost economic growth.

    Europe remains the focus of attention across all financial markets in the run-up to the June 17 Greek election that could go a long way to determining the country’s membership of the euro as well as the future of the single currency zone.

    General Fox,

    While Sirius XM, the Columbia School of Broadcating, and CBC Radio is all well and good — if you were wise — you would be headed to St. Louis on Oct. 30 for ‘Stache Bash 2009 featuring the incomparable John Oates.

    But alas, in times of crisis, we demonstrate weakness, and by “we” I mean the clean-shaven aristocracy and by the “clean-shaven aristocracy” I mean, well, you.

    UNregardless, we at the American Mustache Institute have great love for you as you have always demonstrated your support for our way of life. So we will continue to propagate the values of your pamphlet and help to drive the dozens of impending sales that await it.

    Carry on.

    Dr. Abraham Jonas Froman
    Chief Executive Officer

    If any readers of this blog haven’t read it, be informed that the book is superb. It is an extraordinarily thorough yet very entertaining history of academic finance and its influence on the world. I am amazed that a non-academic could have plowed through all these obscure and opaque journal articles and then told the story without a single equation, graph or chart.
    The fascinating book in the same vein that remains to be written is SECURITIZATION, the well meaning tool that ultimately overleveraged the world and made it fall of its own weight.
