- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book is Alan Blinders "After the Music Stopped." It is the single best and wisest book about the global financial crisis and its aftermath. Blinder who is a Princeton professor and a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve challenges many of your assumptions about the crisis, shows the real causes and consequences and does it all in easy conversational prose.”
