UPSIDE DOWN: Why Borrowing Our Way Out of Debt Hasn't Worked & What Comes Next

In his follow-up to the award-winning Maxed Out book and documentary, James D. Scurlock tackles another national scandal leading up to a crisis far bigger than the financial industry meltdown of 2008. In the same infectious prose as Maxed Out, but requiring only a third of the pages and a single, metaphor-laden jaunt to Las Vegas, Scurlock reveals how free credit became the new expensive credit--and why that has turned the economy, and the country, upside down.
