I just finished reading ‘Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed’ by Paul Mason. It was a good read and I recommend it. I had heard recently Paul Mason had just been interviewed by Doug Henwood on his radio programme, but I only decided to buy book on seeing it as part of 3 for price of 2 offer at Waterstones. It is only just out. It has a good pace of writing which draws you in as well as generally very good take on situation. I did gain some understanding of some specific aspects of how financial system had evolved in recent years, that I had not got my head round before. I am in process of feeding Paul’s outlook on future into my own, as I do with books as I read them to various degrees, as well as news, observations and experience , which I guess goes without saying.
