Discover how the global financial plague is poised to return,
and what can be done to stop it
This is not your father’s financial system. Jimmy Stewart, the
trustworthy, honest banker in the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, is
dead. And so is his small-town bank, Bailey Savings &
Loan. Instead, we’re watching It’s a Horrible Mess with Wall Street
(aka the Vegas Strip) playing ever larger craps with our economy
and our tax dollars.
This book, written by one of the world’s most respected
economist, describes in lively, humorous, simple, but also deadly
serious terms the big con underlying the big game?the web of
interconnected financial, political, and regulatory malfeasance
that culminated in financial meltdown and brought us to our
economic knees. But it also proposes an amazingly simply
solution?Limited Purpose Banking to make Wall Street safe for Main
Street.

have received rave reviews from a veritable who’s who of
policymakers and economics, plus five economics Nobel
Laureates
* Written by a leading economist whose insights on this topic are
unparalleled
* Outlines the first and only proposal to fundamentally fix our
financial disaster for good
Jimmy Stewart Is Dead will fundamentally change the way
you think about the economy, financial markets, and the
government.
