    <![CDATA[In the midst of one of the most serious financial upheavals since the Great  Depression, George Soros, the legendary financier and philanthropist, writes  about the origins of the crisis and proposes a set of policies that should be  adopted to confront it. Soros, whose breadth of experience in financial markets  is unrivaled, places the current crisis in the context of his decades of study  of how individuals and institutions handle the boom and bust cycles that now  dominate global economic activity. &quot;This is a once in a lifetime moment,&quot; writes  Soros in characterizing the scale of financial distress spreading across Wall  Street and other financial centers around the world. In a concise essay that  combines practical insight with philosophical depth, Soros makes an invaluable  contribution to our understanding of the great credit crisis and its  implications for our nation and the world.&lt;/P&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I felt let down by this book.  At first it gives a good overview and timeline of the current credit crunch (although nothing someone wouldn't have known from reading the paper once and a while over the past 6 months).  Then, it delves into Soros's theory of &quot;reflexivity&quot;, which attempts to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19992579">more...</a>]]></body>
