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?
##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##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##陸陸續續讀瞭5個月的一本厚書,神作!讀書筆記flag×2. 經濟的事兒不單純是經濟的事兒,跟geopolitical alpha裏的分析框架有些相似之處,更宏大也更有意思。
