The author does a great job telling the history, mind set behind some of world's biggest financial crisis and how central banks supports the global economy. ![]() ![]() It took me a while to get through the book, although it really is easy to read. I had some Economics classes in college 45 years ago, and I was struggling to remember how the author's comments fit into what I learned then. I'm not up enough on the current state of economic theory to evaluate the author's position so I won't comment on the quality of the specific content. It's well-written, though, with no jargon that hasn't already been explained. Constant references to economists from the past come only after those economists and their views have been outlined for the reader. Someone who isn't trying to study the book while reading it will get through it much more quickly than I did! I found the subject fascinating, and would like to see what professional economists have to say about it. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I don't know if I would want to read this if I were prone to anxiety. Ultimately this reads as something of a warning that the fixes we've put in to prevent disaster previously are starting to pile up and cause their own problems.The historical portion of this book is a great summary.
Not knowing much about the subject, I can't say how much was sacrificed to simplify the topic however, and I can't say whether Overtveldt's diagnosis of our current situation is accurate either, but I can say that the book makes good sense and puts out a decent argument. (
