In 2008 the U.S. and world economies were flattened by a
disease unlike any seen in history.
Governments and central banks applied vaccines to get the economy on
its feet again. Why did the economy
fall like it did? What sort of
“cure” was applied by our Wizards? Do
you think the crisis was entirely the fault of Wall Street and greedy
bankers or were they just symptoms of something larger?
These answers are important not just for your family's welfare but for the
broader goal of our country's future - both political and economic.
Politics and economics will become inseparable in the years ahead.
Escaping Oz presents a
fundamental description of our crisis. This is not a book about assigning
blame or dealing in conspiracy theories. It is a very no-nonsense detailing
of how we got here and what we should do to escape the financial quagmire.
Those expecting a rescue from our "Wizards" will be placing their
welfare in peril.
The
story of The Wizard of Oz serves as the metaphor for where we find ourselves
economically. Jim Mosquera uses this
metaphor to help people understand what at times can be an intimidating
subject. This book could be one of
the most important publications many people will read in the next few
years. An understanding of the economic
issues will be essential as economics and politics continue to intersect in
the future. If you don’t understand
these issues, you will not escape the financial Land of Oz.
