The Nearly Perfect Storm: An American Financial and Social Failure

Uyless Black’s book lays-out the financial, political, as well as social underpinnings of America’s most serious recession since the Great Depression: the 2008 financial meltdown. It is a unique examination of the human foibles that initiated this financial and social failure. His book is the first of its kind. It was written by a business owner.

This well-documented book is exceptional in that it is written so that a non-financial person can understand the "financial weapons of mass destruction." It is a balanced analysis of the topic as it examines both sides of America's political aisle. In addition, the book is not a droll academic treatise. Mr. Black says in the preface, "Levity might help the pill of failure go down easier."
