Alex J. Pollock spent thirty-five years in the banking industry before becoming a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where he researches housing finance, government-sponsored enterprises, corporate governance, and the banking system. He is a director of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the International Housing Union for Housing Finance.
Alex J. Pollock isn't angry about the financial panic that erupted
in 2008 and knocked the U.S. economy into the worst slump since the
1930s. Mr. Pollock, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise
Institute and a former banker, isn't even looking for someone to
blame. In Boom and Bust, he swiftly identifies the villain—a
familiar, sometimes endearing and invariably roguish character
known as human nature.
