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.
这本书是2009年FT最佳商业书籍,伯南克在他的《The Courage to Act》中也引用过。主要以二、三十年代四个主要央行行长(美国是纽约联储行长)为核心,描述了30年代的全球经济危机是如何产生和蔓延的。在作者看来,大萧条是由政策制定者的一系列误判造成的。首先是巴黎和会关于...

評分 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,...
評分这本书是在金融博物馆的推荐书目,早就买了,主要是对金融完全不了解,纯粹是硬着头皮一点点的看。其实就是几个银行家如何在一战后那么困难的情况下,挽救自己国家的经济,虽然坚持金本是个错误的决定,好在最后力挽狂澜吧。。 话说有些名词还需要查查,百科居然好多信...
如果沒看過House of Morgan,可能會覺得此書更好,因為太多的角色已經在Morgan裏齣現,因此使得整個故事的新意部分減分。而且,此書貌似有點脫節,即本來是講一戰對大蕭條影響的,非要加入人物傳記,而且有點主題先行的味道,因為Morgan沒有提到的法國佬的確不重要。當然,兩個主題書都寫得不錯:大蕭條雖無新意,但脈絡清晰,而人物則甚多軼事。所以雖非大傢之作,仍然極有可讀性。

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.
评分沒讀,感覺是本無聊無用的書。
