Maybe the meltdown wasn't what you think By Peter Brimelow, MarketWatch Last update: 1:03 a.m. EST Feb. 23, 2009

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Everyone knows the crash of 2008 was caused by financial deregulation except Thomas E. Woods, who blames financial regulation, in the shape of the Federal Reserve.

Wood's new book, "Meltdown: A Free Market Look At Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse" (Regnery), has just made it to the New York Times best-seller list without the benefit of any major reviews.

CB: Another subtitle should be "Whistling throw the graveyard"
