Ric Edelman (www.ricedelman.com) calls this book an incredibly well researched and very important book on economics. He also called it "a geeky read" :-) The authors researched previous booms and busts and say that the phrase "this time is different" is the most often used justification for irrational economic behavior - and that that justification is never correct.
