Confidence Men - By Ron Suskind - Book Review - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    The Obama White House That Couldn't Bloated, portentous, reeking of self-­importance, Ron Suskind's "Confidence Men" is the most frustrating of books. A truly groundbreaking inside account of the first two years of economic policy making in the Obama White House, "Confidence Men" is at least 200 pages too long. Suskind tosses off contentious opinions about the economy as if they were accepted wisdom. He intro­duces characters who lack even a marginal connection to his narrative. There's not a blind alley he won't stroll down, at least for a while.
