N2  - "How did America's financial institutions become so deeply enmeshed in high-risk international lending? Will they ever get their money back? What are the implications for the economy as a whole? Is there a way out of this mess? A leading economist provides some sobering answers in the first definitive account of how this severe crisis began, who is responsible, and why it will not go away." -- From the back cover
