WASHINGTON -- In a new book on the housing bubble published by the Cato Institute, Swedish writer Johan Norberg likens the financial crisis that erupted last year to the confluence of a high- pressure system from northern Canada, a low-pressure system over the coast of New England and a nearby hurricane that in 1991 came together to produce a monster storm with 75-mile winds and waves as high as 100 feet.
