The Shifts and the Shocks: What We've Learned--And Have Still to Learn--From the Financial Crisis


Description

"From the chief economic commentator for the" Financial Times," abrilliant tour d horizon of the new global economy and its trajectory" There have been many books that have sought to explain the causes and courses of the financial and economic crisis which began in 2007 8. "The Shifts and the Shocks" is not another detailed history of the crisis, but the most persuasive and complete account yet published of what the crisis should teach us about modern economies and economics. The book identifies the origin of the crisis in the complex interaction between globalization, hugely destabilizing global imbalances and our dangerously fragile financial system. In the eurozone, these sources of instability were multiplied by the tragically defective architecture of the monetary union. It also shows how much of the orthodoxy that shaped monetary and financial policy before the crisis occurred was complacent and wrong. In doing so, it mercilessly reveals the failures of the financial, political and intellectual elites who ran the system. The book also examines what has been done to reform the financial and monetary systems since the worst of the crisis passed. Are we now on a sustainable course? Wolf asks. The answer is no. He explains with great clarity why further crises seem certain and why the management of the eurozone in particular guarantees a huge political crisis at some point in the future. Wolf provides far more ambitious and comprehensive plans for reform than any currently being implemented. Written with all the intellectual command and trenchant judgment that have made Martin Wolf one of the world s most influential economic commentators, "The Shifts and the Shocks" matches impressive analysis with no-holds-barred criticism and persuasive prescription for a more stable future. It is a book no one with an interest in global affairs will want to neglect."

In the immense virgin pine forests of Siberia, where the snows of winter are vast and endless, sits the little village of Svetlaya. Once, The Shifts and the Shocks: What We've Learned--And Have Still to Learn--From the Financial Crisis ebook pdf the village had been larger, more prosperous, but time and the pendulum of history had reduced it by the 1970s to no more than a cluster of izbas. But for three young men the handsome young Alyosha, the crippled Utkin, and the older, dashing Samurai little is needed to construct their own special universe. Despite the harshness of the environment and their meager resources, the three adolescents form a tight band of friendship and dream of another life, a world of passion and love. And when they learn one day that a Western film is being shown in the closest real city, they trek for hours on snowshoes to see it. Through that film, the boys lives are changed forever. Written from the perspective of twenty years after these youthful events, "Once Upon the River Love" follows the destinies of these three young idealists up to the present day, to the boardwalks of Brighton Beach and the jungles of Central America.
