Richard Vague is this century's incarnation of Walter Bagehot, Charles Mackay, and Charles Kindleberger, all in one: a successful banker, brilliant author, and contrarian economist with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of money and banking, and the parts of economic theory that are worth knowing--above all the contributions of Hyman Minsky. No one else comes close to his blend of professional experience, oratorical flair, and critical insights. -- Steve Keen, author of The New Economics: A Manifesto Richard Vague is a rare combination of scholar, practitioner, and communicator. In The Paradox of Debt he provides an essential guide to the modern economy that can be read with profit and pleasure by citizens and policymakers alike. -- Michael Lind, author of The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite
