Unless you hate all things Monty Python; and British humor in general. But if you enjoy the zany, silly, Anglo humor, and If you like learning new things; or tweaking your ancient memories regarding some obscure history you were once taught, you will enjoy this docucomedy. I really did enjoy re-learning about the Tulip Bubble (And I hope you, like me, will ask yourself, "People REALLY did that?!") I especially giggled out loud over the inane Tulip Song.

I am not an economist. I'm not even sure what economists actually DO, or how they materially contribute to the greater good of society... or if they even DO contribute to society like my spouse and I did with our small businesses.

I shudder at the thought that this capitalistic economy in which we all work - and at who's mercy us sweaty workers all are, is run by nerdly geniuses who really have no clue, and mostly no balls, when it comes to coming up with how to actually prevent Economic Depressions, or BUSTS, as the title says. Yet, these people advise the biggest banks and governments IN THE WORLD, which in turn affects OUR daily lives.

A far smarter person than I, and a real economist, Don2507, gave a very excellent, in depth, review of Boom Bust Boom, but his final conclusion was that the BUSTS were perhaps the price people have to pay in a Neoclassical Economic Model. (Insert big-eyed shocked emoticon here) As a child of parents who grew up throughout the entire Great Depression; and hearing these stories about one neighbor working for a WEEK for a 50 lb. Bag of dried beans; and then sharing this with his hungry neighbors; and their ONE pair of shoes with cardboard 'reliners' in the soles... I feel these Economists can, and must, do a helluvalot better than that. Don't you?
