具體描述
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?

##過去十年最好的曆史書之一吧
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##Coming up with an outline in the next few days
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。
評分##慢騰騰的看完瞭，本想瞭解一下金融危機，發現是一本史詩級的現代史著作。
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
評分##可以說是史詩 - for anyone who hopes to understand how we got here since 2008.
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。
評分世界是圓的。這本書真的有點東西的，從70年代抵押貸款，兩房給貸款模式埋下的毀滅性危險，到08年雷曼時刻，再到希臘債務、愛爾蘭破産、歐元區國國自危，民粹主義抬頭、東歐和俄羅斯的局部鬥爭，還有特朗普給美國帶來的撕裂，全都連貫呈現齣來瞭，而且很清晰的展現齣瞭互相之間的影響和掣肘。100年過去瞭，一戰時提齣的問題到現在還是相似的模闆，真的想問這一百年到底進步到哪瞭。
