A Bailout Parable: Mad Meat

I met Eric Von Berg at an ING conference where I had just given a speech. Afterwards, he handed me a copy of this short book he wrote and illustrated: Mad Meat! How securitized lending collapsed the financial system which now exists on life-support.

As the plane waited in the queue for takeoff in Atlanta, I started reading it. Byt he time we hit 2000 feet, I had finished. I found it delightful, and I am pleased that Eric allowed me to share it with you here:
