Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "First published by Nicholas Brealey Publishing in 2004." Boards resist opening past 50 degrees. Thus "as new unread," though both top board corners have been banged. "Calverley investigates why bubbles occur, focussing" (sic) "on the interaction between interest rate policy and the psychology and investor behavior. . . . Controversially, the book argues that we can identify bubbles as they emerge based on market valuations and a checklist of other factors. Armed with this knowledge there are ways to prevent bubbles inflating too far by designing 'speed limits' on bank lending" . . . presumably allowing regulators to cool Goldilocks' porridge till it's "just right." Book leads off with eight quotes in "praise" of this opus, the first from Sir Andrew Crockett, president, J.P. Morgan Chase International and former general manager, Bank of International Settlements, 1999-2003, who acknowledges that "Not everyone will agree with all aspects of his diagnosis and prescription."
