Review Quotes: "Impressive and important... It is hard to imagine a more qualified team of editors in this field. The sheer amount of expertise packed into this volume makes it a very valuable resource indeed. It may not be an exaggeration to describe this book as indispensable in the study of just exactly what happened in late 2008 and what needs to be done to prevent such a profound crisis from striking again.... Readers of Time for a Visible Hand can expect to be well-informed and well-equipped after being exposed to such a wide range of thinkers and policy-makers. This publication may well take on a definitive 'textbook' status in years to come."--Journal of General Management
