Martin Mayer

[Forstater, Mathew]

Just resubbed after a year or more, so I don't know if any other discussion re:
Mayer has preceded this.  I don't know about this particular book, but Mayer was
influenced by Minsky's financial instability hypothesis, which (in some forms)
has a marxish flavor. See his Levy Institute working paper no. 232 for his
interpretation of the Asian financial crisis as a "textbook" example of Minsky's
fih.

Haven't read it. How does Mayer write so many books? How does Michael 
Perelman write so many books. Writing one every 3 years nearly kills 
me.
