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.
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...
评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...
评分主要讲了一战结束后,欧洲的创伤,美国的勃兴,对德国的严厉制裁,欧美间巨大的差距,以及一些政治、金融的动荡引发了1929开始的大萧条。其间金融业四巨头也有很大的作用,一些人墨守成规,一些人政治投机,抑或纯粹失误,加剧了危机。随后的三十年代美国在萧条中加强了政府和F...
评分德国在一战中的失败,德国1929年的经济危机,都有犹太人活动的影子。希特勒本人则是一位了不起的思想家、哲学家,他对于犹太人的金融手法,具有不同于常人的领悟能力。他的《我的奋斗》一书,对于民众心理的理解,与金融游戏的原理几乎吻合。他的统治手法,亦与犹太人的金融哲...
评分第三帝国的兴起与第二次大战的起源 为了对抗一个共同的敌人而缔结的战争同盟,总是注定了会短命的,因为一旦这个敌人被击败了之后,同盟的重心也就随之而毁灭了。很少有理由可以假定赢得第一次世界大战的英美法三国之间的协约,能够比勒班陀海战以后的神圣同盟或是滑铁卢...
大萧条
评分确实写的好。凯恩斯的形象尤其出色。照亮历史的天才的光芒和性格上的怪异都表现得十分立体。所以我觉得真正聪明的人,是对事物有超越常人甚至整个时代的的洞察力。
评分The Great Depression was not some act of God but the direct result of a series of misjudgements by economic policy makers, some made back in the 1920s, others after the first crises set in, namely the international debts of the Paris Conference and the ill-judged policies of major central bankers.
评分毫不犹豫给五星!兼具文采和专业性。
评分没读,感觉是本无聊无用的书。
