  After watching the above talks from the Roosevelt Institute meeting, I idly wondered whether any of the other sessions at that meeting were any good. Fortunately, this was the first I tried and I found it so good that I must include it here. The data presented by Bakija is important and should be more widely known. But I especially like the talks by Lindert and Pritchett.

  Krugman and Wells ask:
  

  Why did the regulators abdicate — and keep abdicating despite repeated financial disasters? This is perhaps the most frustrating aspect of Madrick’s otherwise excellent book: we get a lot of the what, but not much of the why. Madrick’s character-centered narrative makes it seem as if the triumph of greed was the result of a series of contingent events: the inflation of the 1970s, the exploitation of that inflation by Reagan and Friedman, the wheeling and dealing of the likes of Sandy Weill, and the diffidence of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Yet surely there must have been deeper forces at work.

  Madrick provides an answer to this question in his newer book Seven Bad Ideas: How Mainstream Economists Have Damaged America and the World (2014). The "deeper forces at work" are an ideological edifice that permeates U.S. business, government, academia, and political discourse, that is the discipline of economics as practiced in the U.S.
