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?

評分##多數事件的曆史意義,在發生當下可能並不清晰。等經過二十五十年之後,水落石齣,纔能看清它是否形成曆史的轉摺。但2008年的全球金融危機,並不在此列。危機爆發之時,已經形成金融海嘯,震動全球;而它的真實影響,直到今天還綿延不絕,並且仍將繼續影響我們的生活。危機已經過去十四年,但曆史的轉摺已經隱隱顯現。這一次危機,就像1944年布雷頓森林體係的建立,或者1973年布雷頓森林體係的解體一樣,將對未來數十年的全球金融、經濟、社會體係産生影響。 這本書打四星,也許再過十年,迴頭看是否可以打五星。

評分##【2019讀書計劃•壹零叁】我是建議從業人員都讀一讀的。非常全麵梳理瞭2008金融危機以來全球金融格局的演變。看完以後整個人都通透瞭不少。
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。
