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.
Liaquat Ahamed has been a professional investment manager for twenty-five years. He has worked at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., and the New York-based partnership of Fischer Francis Trees and Watts, where he served as chief executive. He is currently an adviser to several hedge fund groups, including the Rock Creek Group and the Rohatyn Group, is a director of Aspen Insurance Co., and is on the board of trustees of the Brookings Institution. He has degrees in economics from Harvard and Cambridge universities.
终于读完了!荡气回肠! 所有的人性的瑕疵,以及不可避免的群体性非理性,以及国家间的合纵连横都可以在战争和经济危机中一探究竟。 过段时间再写一下读后感。强烈推荐。 PS:我突然发现 热力学第二定律,《自私的基因》还有《Lords of Finance》之间有很大的相关性。
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.
评分我自己看经济学这方面的东西,的确体会到,很多学科到了后面,都会忍不住往史去看。为什么呢?因为有这么多的理论和说法,很多也有道理,也就是合逻辑,那么再如何甄别呢?只好去看史,看看这些理论的形成是否断章取义,是否以偏概全等等。所以觉得经济学思想史很好,美联储的货币政策很好,但是这个,短期的以四个主要银行家为中心的事,不符合我对史的需求。我的打分,只能对自己负责。
评分拿起来就放不下……
评分it's about bankers' role before and after US' 1929 great depression, precisely it illustrated how they shaped the world finance order to their benefits with diverse examples, most of them not necessarily first-hand or college sophomores studying economics don't have knowledge about, it probably won't improve your view about the business world
第一,这个书读下来一个感觉:当欧洲金融的主导权落到法国人手中时候,的确不堪回首。美国的问题是过度投机,美国本性。欧洲很大的问题都是法国人的顽固和本能拯救时候的自私自利。比如1929年大萧条使得美国、英国和德国都面对严重问题时,法国做的是:1,在杨格计划讨论中坚持...
评分文/严杰夫 2009年,周小川在央行网站上发表了一篇名为《关于国际货币体系改革的思考》的文章,在开篇的第一句,他就提到“什么样的国际储备货币才能保持全球金融稳定”。这个“古老而悬而未决”(周小川语)的问题,可以说是近代世界里,人类在每一次经济危机中都会追问的一个...
评分这本书是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...
评分整理自本书 对战争的理解 (1914年8月份)尽管柏林、巴黎和伦敦的大街上到处都是歇斯底里的人群,但空气中却弥漫着一股异样的、不现实的气息。没有人完全理解“这场战争为什么会发生,打仗究竟是为了什么”,但可以肯定的是,没有人希望战争持续很长时间。尽管敌对双方的士兵...
