Are Government Bailouts Effective?

By Louise I. Gerdes

Book Overview

When an entire sector of the economy is about to enter bankruptcy, are those multibillion dollar, government-issued parachutes made of gold or of necessity? Does a bailout constitute a win or a loss for the country? Should big businesses be disciplined if they endanger the economy? In this anthology, experts analyze these economic questions, interpreting the facts and myths surrounding government bailouts. Essays written by Thomas Frank, Clara Jeffery, Fareed Zakaria, and Joseph E. Stiglitz.
