520    Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of
       the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, as the 
       world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame what 
       happened on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational 
       risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In "Fault 
       Lines", Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are
       also to blame, and warns that a potentially more 
       devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed. Rajan 
       shows how the individual choices that collectively brought
       about the economic meltdown - made by bankers, government 
       officials, and ordinary home-owners - were rational 
       responses to a flawed global financial order in which the 
       incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with
       the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening 
       fault lines in a world overly dependent on the indebted 
       American consumer to power global economic growth and 
       stave off global downturns.--|cPublisher.
