While many analysts have placed the blame solely on Wall Street, Norberg exposes the crucial role government regulation played in creating the opportunities and incentives that led to the financial collapse.<br /> <br /> The book was the basis for the 2010 film &#039;&#039;[[Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> [http://www.cato.org/store/books/financial-fiasco-how-americas-infatuation-homeownership-easy-money-created-economic-crisis-har Purchase page] at Cato.org<br /> <br /> * Articles, essays and reviews<br /> ** [[The Freeman]] Review: [http://www.thefreemanonline.org/book-reviews/financial-fiasco/ &quot;Financial Fiasco&quot;] by Waldemar Ingdahl, June 2010<br /> ** Financial Times review: [http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/09001ab8-e81f-11de-8a02-00144feab49a.html &quot;Financial Fiasco&quot;] by Giles Wilkes, December 2009<br /> <br /> * Other media<br /> ** Cato Book Forum: [http://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=6419 Financial Fiasco] lecture by Johan Norberg, September 2009 &lt;small&gt;(at [http://fora.tv/2009/09/01/Financial_Fiasco_The_US_Infatuation_with_Home_Ownership Fora.tv])&lt;/small&gt;<br /> ** [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Financial-Fiasco/136986930508 Financial Fiasco] Facebook page<br /> <br /> * {{wplink}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> [[category:literature]]</div>
