The Global Financial Crisis is the result of a narcissistic ‘me first’ mentality taking over on a corporate wide scale according to a new book.
Towards a Socioanalysis of Money, Finance and Capitalism has been co-edited by Dr Susan Long, a Professor at RMIT University in Melbourne. It explores the psychology behind the current financial crisis.

Dr Long tells Phil Kafcaloudes that the second major psychological aspect of the corporations involved in the crisis is denial.
