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)

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。

看完了。。。我觉得此书生动地体现了一股前几年很流行、但近来倍受唾弃的思潮，而我由于年纪尚幼（……）刚刚好错过了这股思潮的洗脑期。//一曲充满基情、八卦与狗血的central banker颂歌！

确实写的好。凯恩斯的形象尤其出色。照亮历史的天才的光芒和性格上的怪异都表现得十分立体。所以我觉得真正聪明的人，是对事物有超越常人甚至整个时代的的洞察力。
