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##頗為麵麵俱到,很不錯地梳理瞭08到17這十年裏各類國際大事之間的韆絲萬縷。
評分##Coming up with an outline in the next few days
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。
