Best-selling crisis books offer the least information about the crisis

Evidence

As someone who has spent an inordinate amount of his life with the tsunami of crisis books over the past three years, I have to once again report that the marketplace of ideas seems an unreliable tutor, since these books are, in my estimation, some of the least informative sources on the causes and consequences of the crisis. — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 2022
