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.
“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...
評分花了好几个晚上,终于把这本五百多页的书读完了。开始看很慢,很多的人名,官名和地名,有一些金融的专业术语,还需要一些基本的经济常识。不过后来慢慢就熟悉了,越看越快,像看小说一样。 整本书读下来,有一种荡气回肠的感觉。书主要是讲美英法德四国央行是如何建立起来,...

評分小寒的第二天,北京下起了雪,不那么大,却也纷纷扬扬的。下雪天缩在屋里看大部头,最是惬意。 非常佩服那些传世的鸿篇巨著,开篇几句,就能把错综复杂的背景铺垫在你眼前,好像大画家那挥洒的笔墨,疏疏落落就给勾勒出一个画面来,让人一下子仿佛置身于那浩浩荡荡销烟滚滚的...

finally done after sitting on my reading list since 12/02/2017. To start right before WWI creates the right suspense. Several themes cleverly threaded: gold balance concentration (reminiscent of BTC decentralization debate?), GB deflation vs DE devaluation, reparation vs war debt, FR book-cooking scandal, DE external debt, US stock bubble, etc.
评分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
评分毫不猶豫給五星!兼具文采和專業性。
评分Great book about the central bankers from World War I to Great Depression.
