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?
##对我来说还是有点难读。过去二十年中国嵌入世界经济体系,真正脱钩是很难的。中美关系绝非仅仅是对抗,frienemy 也许更准确。如遇大危机,中美除了合作别无其它可能。高通胀使得美国不可能摆脱中国,外贸为主的结构也让中国无法脱钩世界。
评分##兰小欢推荐: 今年是政经类书籍的大年,好书太多了。我的年度图书就是这本大部头。最近十年全世界的政经画卷全面展开,一环套一环,政治引着资本,金融包着外交,一浪接着一浪,层层叠叠。暑假看完的,目前在看第二遍,依然精彩绝伦,细节太多了,第二次读又出来很多新意。
评分##Read Intro, and chapters 1, 6, 7, 10. Not a big fan of 2008 financial crisis though. Chris
评分##过去十年最好的历史书之一吧

评分##4.5.对事件的梳理可以更精炼,对政治经济的分析与批判可以更深入,但作为一部总结性的后金融危机全球史其整理与启发作用是巨大的。
评分##陆陆续续读了5个月的一本厚书,神作!读书笔记flag×2. 经济的事儿不单纯是经济的事儿,跟geopolitical alpha里的分析框架有些相似之处,更宏大也更有意思。
