Crash

The crisis that began in the United States in September 2008 was not a one-off accident, but the beginning of a great global change that was to spread to financial markets in Europe, factories and shipyards in Asia, the Middle East and the Latin America. Its consequences were also manifested in the field of politics, from the collapse of Greece to Brexit or the victory of Donald Trump. Adam Tooze, professor at Columbia University and author of The Flood, offers us in Crash a global story that is not limited to the collapse of 2008, but analyzes the evolution of a decade in which a sequence of financial crises has transformed our world . This is not so much a book about the past as about our present.
