«Whoops!» is John Lanchester's economics explainer, published by Penguin in paperback (256 pages, in English).
John Lanchester explains the 2008 financial crisis in language aimed at the lay reader: he clarifies complex products like CDOs, CDS, and MBS, and describes how banks, regulators, and politicians helped bring about the collapse. The book also invites readers to ask whether the lesson has been learned or whether the same mistakes will be repeated.
The subtitle is Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay. It was nominated for the 2010 Goodreads Choice Awards in the nonfiction category.
For readers who want to understand the financial crisis without prior economic knowledge, with an accessible and approachable focus.
John Henry Lanchester is a British journalist and novelist.
