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.

In other words, Britain's problem was not its budget deficit, but rather that it clung to the role of banker to the world without having the money or the resources to do so and at a time when most of the world was a damn poor risk. (查看原文)
如果没看过House of Morgan，可能会觉得此书更好，因为太多的角色已经在Morgan里出现，因此使得整个故事的新意部分减分。而且，此书貌似有点脱节，即本来是讲一战对大萧条影响的，非要加入人物传记，而且有点主题先行的味道，因为Morgan没有提到的法国佬的确不重要。当然，两个主题书都写得不错：大萧条虽无新意，但脉络清晰，而人物则甚多轶事。所以虽非大家之作，仍然极有可读性。

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。

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。
