From a prizewinning economic historian, an eye-opening reinterpretation of the 2008 economic crisis (and its ten-year aftermath) as a global event that directly led to the shockwaves being felt around the world today.
In September 2008 President George Bush could still describe the financial crisis as an incident local to Wall Street. In fact it was a dramatic caesura of global significance that spiraled around the world, from the financial markets of the UK and Europe to the factories and dockyards of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, forcing a rearrangement of global governance. In the United States and Europe, it caused a fundamental reconsideration of capitalist democracy, eventually leading to the war in the Ukraine, the chaos of Greece, Brexit, and Trump.
It was the greatest crisis to have struck Western societies since the end of the Cold War, but was it inevitable? And is it over? Crashed is a dramatic new narrative resting on original themes: the haphazard nature of economic development and the erratic path of debt around the world; the unseen way individual countries and regions are linked together in deeply unequal relationships through financial interdependence, investment, politics, and force; the ways the financial crisis interacted with the spectacular rise of social media, the crisis of middle-class America, the rise of China, and global struggles over fossil fuels.
Finally, Tooze asks, given this history, what now are the prospects for a liberal, stable, and coherent world order?
##想给作者寄本the elements of style
评分世界是圆的。这本书真的有点东西的,从70年代抵押贷款,两房给贷款模式埋下的毁灭性危险,到08年雷曼时刻,再到希腊债务、爱尔兰破产、欧元区国国自危,民粹主义抬头、东欧和俄罗斯的局部斗争,还有特朗普给美国带来的撕裂,全都连贯呈现出来了,而且很清晰的展现出了互相之间的影响和掣肘。100年过去了,一战时提出的问题到现在还是相似的模板,真的想问这一百年到底进步到哪了。
评分##Read Intro, and chapters 1, 6, 7, 10. Not a big fan of 2008 financial crisis though. Chris
