Economics is broken. It has failed to predict, let alone prevent, financial crises that have shaken the foundations of our societies. Its outdated theories have permitted a world in which extreme poverty persists while the wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. And its blind spots have led to policies that are degrading the living world on a scale that threatens all of our futures. Can it be fixed?

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet.

Histoire
Germany's financial collapse in the summer of 1931 was one of the biggest economic catastrophes of modern history. It led to a global panic, brought down the international monetary system, and turned a worldwide recession into a prolonged depression. Hitler managed to profit from the crisis, because he had been the most vocal critic of the reparation regime. As the financial system collapsed, his relentless attacks against foreign creditors and the alleged complicity of the German government resonated more than ever with the electorate.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

Histoire
Governments today in both Europe and the United States have succeeded in casting government spending as reckless wastefulness that has made the economy worse. In contrast, they have advanced a policy of draconian budget cuts - austerity - to solve the financial crisis. We are told that we have all lived beyond our means and now need to tighten our belts. This view conveniently forgets where all that debt came from. Not from an orgy of government spending, but as the direct result of bailing out, recapitalizing, and adding liquidity to the broken banking system.

Histoire
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.
Description
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Crashed by Adam Tooze, read by Simon Vance, with an introduction read by the author.
In September 2008 the Great Financial Crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman brothers, shook the world. A decade later its spectre still haunts us. As the appalling scope and scale of the crash was revealed, the financial institutions that had symbolised the West's triumph since the end of the Cold War seemed - through greed, malice and incompetence - to be about to bring the entire system to its knees.
Crashed is a brilliantly original and assured analysis of what happened and how we were rescued from something even worse - but at a price which continues to undermine democracy across Europe and the United States. Gnawing away at our institutions are the many billions of dollars which were conjured up to prevent complete collapse. Over and over again, the end of the crisis has been announced, but it continues to hound us - whether in Greece or Ukraine, whether through Brexit or Trump. Adam Tooze follows the trail like no previous writer and has written a book compelling as history, as economic analysis and as political horror story.

A mere repeat of recent events
The book is merely a review of recent events with no academic vigor for the underlying motivitations. At times, the author inserts his own views to provide a colored account. If you we’re born before 2004, you have experienced the contents of this book by merely following main stream media. Could be that my expectations for this book were more towards a more in depth about recent events, while the content was something that will appreciate in value as decades pass.

Hugely informative yet enjoyable
Tooze has become quite the influential/popular figure, and one can tell why from this book. He covers a huge amount of ground in this volume, discussing not only the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008, but also the following sovereign debt crisis in Europe, the east European political crisis between the EU and Russia regarding Ukraine, the political upheavals in the US, etc. Despite covering so much ground, he does not just brush over these issues, but goes into great depth on them, also illuminating links between these seemingly distinct events. This focus on connectedness is what makes me prefer his account to the others I have read so far. The crucial thing to understand about the crisis is that it was not an isolated event in one country, but that it had international origins and consequences. Granted, there are some parts missing in the story, such as Japan, but I don’t think one can seriously fault him for such an omission given the scope of the analysis that one gets. The rest of the story will have to wait for another volume. What is lovely about Tooze is his style. He manages to pack a ton of information into his prose without making it into a history textbook. It is written in an engaging way, which really makes him stand out from the crowd I find. A caveat is that his perspective permeates the book. Do not expect an uninterested, unopinionated observer. Tooze has a left-Keynesian perspective and that can be felt throughout the book. I don’t mind it myself, and I find it makes the tone more lively, but it should be mentioned.
