Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding
the Next Collapse

astute financial analysts of our
time (Walter Isaacson), explains how

banks. Instead, El-Erian offers a grand tour
of the challenges we face, along with ideal
solutions and more likely outcomes. . . . We
desperately need a system in which the central banks are
no longer the only game in town. The New York Times Book Review
