Does our Economy Need to Crash?

Why is our capitalism so prone to crash? On the next Your Call we talk with author John Cassidy about how markets crash. Is it about greed and groupthink? Or something more fundamental to our economic system? And what does the way we answer these questions mean for financial regulation? A conversation with New Yorker economics and finance reporter John Cassidy, author of How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities.
