Frank Partnoy: “The Match King”
On the Diane Rehm Show (WAMU 88.5 in Washington) today, the guest is Frank Partnoy talking about his new book, "The Match King," the state of the housing market, and other things "Great Recession"-related.
[audio: "http://wamu.org/audio/dr/09/05/r2090504-24680.asx"]Partnoy is extremely insightful about the economy and, having worked in the Wall Street belly of the beast, knows of what he speaks.
Here’s a conversation he had in March with Terry Gross, of Fresh Air (WHYY in Philadelphia), on "Derivative Dangers." If you want a very good primer on the topic, spelled out in layman’s terms, listen in to this as well.
