Discussion Hosted by IMF On Menzie Chinn's New Book "Lost Decades"

This is taken from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) Site.  A discussion on Menzie Chinn's new book "Lost Decades" which I highly recommend to put on your reading and/or Christmas gift list.  Economist and MIT Professor Simon Johnson also makes an appearance.

Menzie Chinn Rocks!!!!!!! (And Is An Awesome Dude)

Recently I bought Menzie Chinn's new book "Lost Decades" on Amazon.  I encourage all those who want to understand America's current economic hardships and where America could be headed into the future to go to Amazon or a local bookstore and purchase it.  (the insight it will give you is bound to pay dividends above and beyond the book's price)
