I like the Greenspan tie-in: how about "The Edifice Crumbled: The Unraveling of the Rational Market Myth"

Best wishes to Mrs. CC and CC Jr. from our crew.

Well under the theory that immature writers imitate and mature writers steal, I say steal from the best:

The Myth of the Rational Market: Capitalism and Freedom

As long as we're stealing, though, might as well complete the title larceny:

The Myth of the Rational Market: Why Capitalists Choose Bad Investments

Or:

The Myth of the Rational Market: How the Quest for Impossible Profits Destroyed Wall Street

The Myth of the Rational Market: The Rise and Fall of Free-Market Fundamentalism

(That should get Bryan's goat...)

Or hey!

The Myth of the Rational Market: The Road to Serfdom

Or one last one,

The Myth of the Rational Market: The Death of Nations

Hate the title. Everything is so literal (and boring). - "Standard Deviants: Crapstistics Destroys the Financial Markets" - "Market Risk Returns and Throws the Curve" - "Idiots sans Savants" - "Wall Street: The Blind Leading the Poor" - "The Market - Spock It's Not" - "Wall Street - Making Megabucks as Outfitters to the Gold Rush" - "How 0's at the Fed Caused the Same in Your Investment Account" - "Marilyn Monroe Never Saw this Many Bubbles!" I should trademark all these. Your offer of a signed copy is a little cheap! How about a good meal or a bottle of rare Scotch?
