The banking bust and the book bubble


When there is a crisis in one major sector, you wouldn’t immediately expect a boom in another sector, but nothing could be further from the truth. The publishing industry is booming because everyone seems eager to read and write about this ‘brand new’ subject: the financial crisis. However, most books won’t be finished within one or two years, and by then the interest in books on the financial crisis will have diminished. Books that will be finished earlier might not be of a very high quality, so this mass production probably won’t lead to higher profits.

Super topic + nicely coherent text. Well done!
'further from the truth'? Better: 'but that's not always true...'
Better: 'will only be finished in one or two years' time'
