yeah, i just read that line today. i'm not sure why it didn't get play here (sorry if somebody already did mention it a bunch), except that most of the info in it is probably already known to those following the housing bubble (though he provides a very handy reference work). i think the main value of this book (and also Talbott's intended audience) will be for those who really have no clue about the housing bubble. that is the people i am buying it for.

but for people who already know the PowerPoint version of the housing bubble and Credit Bubble, and are more interested in grasping a more advanced framework for understanding the modern global economy and the Credit Bubble, i think it is more productive to read, e.g., The Boom and the Bubble: The US in the World Economy by Robert Brenner amazon.com

a fairly difficult read for a nonspecialist book imo, but a very rewarding book. not something i'd buy for somebody as their introductory book to understanding the housing bubble, though.
