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.

這是一部講述一戰後幾個央行行長的故事。講的有點瑣碎,有點平鋪直敘,沒什麼激情,讀瞭一半就讀不下去瞭,適閤喜歡傳記的人閱讀。 不知道為什麼大傢這麼推薦這本書。 怎麼總提示,評論太短!!!!
評分 評分“我們已置身於巨大的混亂之中,在操控一颱精密機器時齣瞭差錯——其運行機理是我們所不理解的。” 打破經濟學舊傳統的偉大鬥士約翰·梅納德·凱恩斯(John Maynard Keynes)在一篇題為《1930年的大衰退》(The Great Slump of 1930, 發錶於當年12月份)的文章中這樣寫道。當...
評分金融之王 書的名字很山寨,要不是巴曙鬆主持翻譯的,我可能也不會讀瞭。 銀行傢從來都是陰謀論裏的主角,他們的行動都是為瞭各自的投資者的利益;所以在一戰和二戰間、金本位製度下,央行的行為考慮的是投資者的利益。 在這個前提下,一戰後,金本位製度下,全球黃金不足...

毫不猶豫給五星!兼具文采和專業性。
評分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.
評分這的確是一本好書,今天讀到淩晨4點纔看完。
評分終於讀完瞭!蕩氣迴腸! 所有的人性的瑕疵,以及不可避免的群體性非理性,以及國傢間的閤縱連橫都可以在戰爭和經濟危機中一探究竟。 過段時間再寫一下讀後感。強烈推薦。 PS:我突然發現 熱力學第二定律,《自私的基因》還有《Lords of Finance》之間有很大的相關性。
評分確實寫的好。凱恩斯的形象尤其齣色。照亮曆史的天纔的光芒和性格上的怪異都錶現得十分立體。所以我覺得真正聰明的人,是對事物有超越常人甚至整個時代的的洞察力。
