From the jacket flap
"The most thoroughgoing assault on the Maestro's legacy so far."--Cecil Johnson, Fort Worth Star-Telegram (syndicated)
"Here, finally, is the dark truth about Alan Greenspan. In this chilling expos of one of the most powerful men of our time, Ravi Batra reveals Greenspan for who he secretly is: An ideologue who has waged war on the American Dream and imperiled the world economy. Greenspan's Fraud is a terrifying book."--David Callahan, author of The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead
"As always, his economic arguments are expressed elegantly."--Publishers Weekly
"[H]is economic insights recommend this book to most public and academic libraries."--Lawrence R. Maxted, Library Journal
"Ravi Batra is one of the world's most controversial economists. Beneath the surface of his often contentious conclusions lies a deeper source of the controversy. He does not accept one of the most fundamental fallacies of modern macroeconomic theory--the assumption that macroeconomic policy has no distribution effects.... Professor Batra turns this oversimplifying assumption upside down.... [W]e cannot and should not ignore him..."--William A. Barnett, Oswald Distinguished Professor of Macroeconomics, University of Kansas and Editor, Macroeconomic Dynamics

"Batra has set the standard for economic analysis . . . Think about it. Before Batra, who ever heard of phrases like 'jobless recovery, ' 'contained depression, ' and 'deflationary boom.'"--John Liscio, Barron's
"When it comes to the bottom line so beloved of economists, one can learn a lot about events by thinking about them in cyclical regularities, of which Batra gives a novel and brilliant exposition."--Lester C. Thurow, Professor, MIT
"Batra [is] a scholar who has earned a considerable reputation as an expert on trade."--Albert Crenshaw, Washington Post
"Ravi Batra has made an outstanding reputation in the United States as an international economic theorist in the best Western tradition."--Leonard Silk, New York Times
