«Whoops!» is John Lanchester's economics primer, published by Allen Lane in hardcover (223 pages, in English).
It starts from the financial crisis that shook the global economy and explains it without jargon: debt, speculation and financial instruments impossible to understand brought the system to the brink of collapse. Lanchester reviews how the disaster was gestated and why the measures adopted afterwards have not tackled its root causes.
The full subtitle is «Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay». It was nominated for the 2010 Goodreads Choice Award in the non-fiction category.
For readers who want to understand the financial crisis without being economists, with an accessible, critical and not humour-free account.
John Henry Lanchester is a British journalist and novelist.
