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?
##當代史詩
評分##過去十年最好的曆史書之一吧
評分##08年美國金融危機之後發生瞭許多國際大事:比如特朗普當選美國總統、烏剋蘭衝突、希臘主權危機為開端的歐債危機、英國脫歐、全球民粹主義興起等。本書結閤瞭08年以後全球經濟、政治、地緣政治探討瞭世界經濟的運行機製。宏觀經濟學建立在凱恩斯對民族國傢、國傢生産體係和它們之間貿易不平衡上。但如今全球化經濟讓凱恩斯經濟學在解釋08年以後事件顯得不足:推動國際貿易的不再是國傢經濟體之間的關係,而是協調廣泛的“價值鏈”的大型跨國企業。貨幣、信貸和金融機構是由政治權力、社會慣例和法律構成的。現代銀行係統的脆弱性根源:它是全球性的,又是基於美元的,這意味著美聯儲的貨幣政策是全球性的,但是美聯儲隻對美國負責。金融危機看似宏觀經濟問題,但實際上是傳統貨幣政策工具的危機,同樣也是現代政治危機。
評分##想給作者寄本the elements of style
評分##頗為麵麵俱到,很不錯地梳理瞭08到17這十年裏各類國際大事之間的韆絲萬縷。
評分##蘭小歡推薦: 今年是政經類書籍的大年,好書太多瞭。我的年度圖書就是這本大部頭。最近十年全世界的政經畫捲全麵展開,一環套一環,政治引著資本,金融包著外交,一浪接著一浪,層層疊疊。暑假看完的,目前在看第二遍,依然精彩絕倫,細節太多瞭,第二次讀又齣來很多新意。
評分##4.5.對事件的梳理可以更精煉,對政治經濟的分析與批判可以更深入,但作為一部總結性的後金融危機全球史其整理與啓發作用是巨大的。
評分##看起來有點吃力,細節有點多。全麵迴顧2008年到18年十年的經濟政治變局。美國受次級債的影響,第一波全球危機,美聯儲及財政部聯手提供流動性,暫時穩定經濟。在此階段危機中華爾街,美國金融機構受創嚴重,但歐洲金融金融機構受創也很嚴重,主要是大規模藉美元貸美元,承受比美國金融機構更大的壓力。隨著美國經濟的萎縮,帶來歐洲各國經濟的萎縮,特彆是東歐各國,歐洲銀行深度介入東歐各國,經濟的崩潰,帶來歐洲金融機構的二次大危機。快十年的財政收縮及經濟低迷帶來瞭保護主義,經濟危機後十年美國更不均衡的財富分配,受損的白人藍領推選瞭特朗普,世界進入一個大變局時代,柏林牆後將近二三十年的和平與全球化紅利將可能消失。
評分##Jus amazed by the line and time stamp, basically documented every major point during 20 years, the imbalance between us and Europe, within Europe , even Eurasian, my memory is kinda faded , and when I saw the events I can vividly picture the emotion when I was at the moments
