James Galbraith: “Dean Baker foresaw the housing crisis, first, persistently, and almost alone, while
Bush fiddled, Congress snoozed, and the media looked resolutely the other way. In Plunder and Blunder,
he delivers his trademark one-two punch: clarity and honesty, in the face of vast malfeasance.”

William Greider: “Dean Baker warned us what was coming. Alas, the government and most economists
ignored him. They denied that a housing bubble existed and would soon collapse with devastating
consequences. Now we can read why Dean got it right when so many experts were blind.”

Noam Chomsky: “One leading economist, one of the few economists who has been right all along in predicting what’s happening, Dean Baker, pointed out that selecting [Robert Rubin and Larry Summers] is like selecting Osama Bin Laden to run the war on terror.”
