Abstract

Regarding the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, The Queen of Great Britain asked economists “Why did nobody notice it developing?” The answer provided to the Queen by mainstream economists was wrong. The Queen should read this book to find the correct answer to her question and to help her understand the policies government should develop not only to avoid future financial crises but also to produce a prosperous full employment economy for its citizens.
