[lbo-talk] FOMC

[Mike Beggs]

That's good news... It's been out of print for ages. I got a copy of his
paper collection when the local library chucked it out. I guess he is
enjoying quite a comeback, even though he's only known for 'ponzi
finance', which misrepresents his main point. Kindleberger's Manias,
Panics and Crashes, also showing up in the news, and still in print, is
heavily influenced by Minsky, but only the 'ponzi finance' stuff.

Cheers,
Mike Beggs
