xx, 217 p. ; 24 cm. Conservative historian Peter Schweizer argues that the economic crisis was caused by liberals who used the power of government to create a subprime mortgage bubble that has ravaged the global economy. Rebutting charges that the financial collapse was caused by conservative deregulatory zeal, shows that it was actually the result of "do-good capitalism."--From publisher description.
