- 详述金本位制度的瓦解与深远影响
- 剖析大萧条爆发且长期持续的根源

荐书：Liaquat Ahamed 写的《Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World》（金融之王）。我觉得它比书名听上去还要精彩。它涵盖了一战、大萧条以及二战初期，重点聚焦于货币政策（黄金……
Book recommendation: Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World by Liaquat Ahamed. It is more interesting than the title, I think. It covers WW I, great depression, and the beginning of WW II, with a focus on monetary policy (gold…
> 金融之王 噢，是的，神作！读起来很过瘾。有两件事一直留在我脑海里：A) 当时的事情节奏有多慢。英国财政大臣（“Chancellor and Under-Treasurer of Her Majesty's Exchequer”）会……
> Lords of Finance Oh, yes, great book! And good read. Two things stuck in my mind: A) How slow things were back then. The British finance minister (“Chancellor and Under-Treasurer of Her Majesty's Exchequer”) would…
……《大转型》从文化人类学的角度，提供了一个关于它为何在一战前后崩溃的流行理论。http://uncharted.org/frownland/books/Polanyi/POLANYI%20KARL%... Liaquat Ahamed 的《Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke The World》则从更详尽的历史/经济视角，提供了另一个吻合的论述，解释了为什么金本位会被废弃。http://www.amazon.com/Lords-Finance-Bankers-Broke-World/dp/0...
…Transformation provide one popular theory as to why it collapsed around World War 1, from a cultural anthropology perspective. http://uncharted.org/frownland/books/Polanyi/POLANYI%20KARL%... Liaquat Ahamed's _Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke The World_ provides another congruent account, from a more detailed historical/economic perspective, as to why gold was abandoned. http://www.amazon.com/Lords-Finance-Bankers-Broke-World/dp/0...
……大萧条前期取得的很多成果（美国政府甚至出现了财政盈余！）。二战的军费开支才是最终把世界拖出衰退的刺激手段。Liaquat Ahamed 的《Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World》非常详尽地探讨了大萧条发生的原因（金本位制），以及它为什么会迁延日久。我也觉得你可能需要深入了解一下日本的经济……
…lot of the prior gains from the depression (the US government had a budget surplus!). WW2 spending was what wound up being the stimulus that dragged the world out of the recession. Liaquat Ahamed's _Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World_ goes into great detail as to why the great depression occurred (the Gold standard), and why it lingered. I also think you may want to read more into Japan's economic…
……(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IN73B9E) ……但在前几页里他提到“他”最近在读另一本书，听起来更有意思，所以我现在在读那本：Liaquat Ahamed 的《金融之王》（http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QIGZEK）……到目前为止还不错；如果你喜欢历史类题材的话。
…(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IN73B9E) ...but in the first few pages he referenced that HE was recently reading a different book, which sounded more interesting, so now I'm reading that: Liaquat Ahamed - Lords of Finance (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QIGZEK) ...so far so good; if you're into historical stuff.
……Greene。Malcolm Gladwell 的一些书挺有意思，虽然略带一点通俗科普的味道。最近读完了《从0到1》，写得不错，但如果你经常听 Thiel 的演讲，里面就没太多新东西。《金融之王》是一本纽约时报畅销书（NYTBS），写得极好，很有塔勒布的风格，你可能会喜欢。多谢。
…Greene. Some of Malcolm Gladwell's books are interesting although they are a tad popsci. Recently finished Zero to One which was good, but if you listen to Thiel often there wasn't much new material. Lords of Finance is a NYTBS that is really well done and reminiscent of Taleb so you might like that. Thanks.
