It's an excellent read and I share your enthusiasm in recommending it. However, I think he is indicating that a multi trillion dollar disaster is down the road. He made many recommendations as to what should be done to avert further crisis. I do not feel that much (hardly anything) has been done to stop the speculation that played so large a role in the current economic crisis. Certainly none of his ideas seem to have gained any traction. The book's one trillion dollar initial estimate was a result of it being published too early in the crisis. I strongly suspect either a sequel or a revised edition will be out soon. James Pilant http://southwerk.wordpress.com/ I read the book myself.

In fact, Treasury had noted such an alternative in its "break the glass" TARP proposal in April 2008 (before Sept!). I suspect the power of the banking lobby explains this.
