As the global economy is racked by its worst crisis since the Great Depression, there is a renewed interest in the lessons to be learned from the world economic collapse of the late 1920s. Drawing on his best-selling book, Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World, noted author Liaquat Ahamed discusses the insights we can gain from the Great Depression about the forces that cause global financial crises, the similarities between the breaks down in the 1920s and the current meltdown and the actions economic officials need to take in order to reverse the downward spiral in the world economy and avoid a repeat of that cataclysm.
Liaquat Ahamed has been a professional investment manager for twenty-five years. He has worked at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., and the New York-based partnership of Fischer Francis Trees and Watts, where he served as chief executive. He is currently an adviser to several hedge fund groups, including the Rock Creek Group and the Rohatyn Group, is a director of Aspen Insurance Co., and is on the board of trustees of the Brookings Institution. He has degrees in economics from Harvard and Cambridge universities.
这本书是在金融博物馆的推荐书目,早就买了,主要是对金融完全不了解,纯粹是硬着头皮一点点的看。其实就是几个银行家如何在一战后那么困难的情况下,挽救自己国家的经济,虽然坚持金本是个错误的决定,好在最后力挽狂澜吧。。 话说有些名词还需要查查,百科居然好多信...
評分这是一部讲述一战后几个央行行长的故事。讲的有点琐碎,有点平铺直叙,没什么激情,读了一半就读不下去了,适合喜欢传记的人阅读。 不知道为什么大家这么推荐这本书。 怎么总提示,评论太短!!!!
評分“我们已置身于巨大的混乱之中,在操控一台精密机器时出了差错——其运行机理是我们所不理解的。” 打破经济学旧传统的伟大斗士约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯(John Maynard Keynes)在一篇题为《1930年的大衰退》(The Great Slump of 1930, 发表于当年12月份)的文章中这样写道。当...
評分买这本书的时候是2011年10月。转眼5年。期间读Margaret Olwen MacMillan的《Paris 1919》,去了布拉格、维也纳和布达佩斯旅行。站在华尔街的街角,这本书的封面闪在心头。 在很多人眼里,1900-1939这四十年的欧洲类似民国。名流云集,群星璀璨。看看午夜巴黎、亦或者布达佩斯...
評分金融之王 书的名字很山寨,要不是巴曙松主持翻译的,我可能也不会读了。 银行家从来都是阴谋论里的主角,他们的行动都是为了各自的投资者的利益;所以在一战和二战间、金本位制度下,央行的行为考虑的是投资者的利益。 在这个前提下,一战后,金本位制度下,全球黄金不足...
it's about bankers' role before and after US' 1929 great depression, precisely it illustrated how they shaped the world finance order to their benefits with diverse examples, most of them not necessarily first-hand or college sophomores studying economics don't have knowledge about, it probably won't improve your view about the business world
评分終於讀完瞭!蕩氣迴腸! 所有的人性的瑕疵,以及不可避免的群體性非理性,以及國傢間的閤縱連橫都可以在戰爭和經濟危機中一探究竟。 過段時間再寫一下讀後感。強烈推薦。 PS:我突然發現 熱力學第二定律,《自私的基因》還有《Lords of Finance》之間有很大的相關性。
评分拿起來就放不下……
评分這的確是一本好書,今天讀到淩晨4點纔看完。
评分應該和貨幣戰爭捆綁著賣,更能顯示齣宋大師的圖樣拿衣服
