金融危机来了,州长,总统,签署法令,允许银行闭户躲灾,避免挤兑破产。没几天,大家手头的现金就用完了(州长也不例外),于是乎,退回到物物交换的年代;可物物交换也有限度(货币不就是为此而现世的嘛),咋办?牛叉的普林斯顿大学的牛蛙们自己发行了“普林斯顿元”------ ...
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...
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...

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.
太好看了!
评分finally done after sitting on my reading list since 12/02/2017. To start right before WWI creates the right suspense. Several themes cleverly threaded: gold balance concentration (reminiscent of BTC decentralization debate?), GB deflation vs DE devaluation, reparation vs war debt, FR book-cooking scandal, DE external debt, US stock bubble, etc.
评分终于读完了!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。
评分这的确是一本好书,今天读到凌晨4点才看完。
评分觉得里面的lords都靠不住。越看越担忧这次的欧债危机和中国银行业问题。
