In 2008, the world was plunged into a financial and economic crash.
This book explores the roots of the crash, including the build-up
of global economic imbalances, the explosion in the use of novel
financial instruments, the mismanagement of risk, and the specific
roles played by housing and debt. It reviews the evidence that on
the eve of the crash all was not well and that many political and
finance industry leaders ignored the dangers. The key events of the
crash are described, and the main amplification mechanisms
explained. An economics lens is used to dissect the bank rescue,
paying particular attention to the hidden ways in which it worked,
who will ultimately bear the costs, and to what degree new risks
were created. The book evaluates the fiscal and monetary policies
used to rescue economies, efforts to tackle unemployment, proposals
for dealing with collapsing housing markets, austerity and the
battles over long-term sovereign debt, the Eurozone crash, and the
risks of future economic instability. It reviews reform-of mortgage
markets, monetary policy, and banking-designed to make such
disasters less likely in future. Written before, during, and in the
years immediately after the crash, it is an engaging chronicle and
comprehensive analysis of the events and thinking of these years.
The book's arguments take on added authority given that the author
had identified, and called attention to, key features of the crash
before it happened.
