Winner of the 2019 Lionel Gelber Prize'Majestic, informative and often delightful ... insights on every page' Yanis Varoufakis, ObserverThe definitive history of the Great Financial Crisis, from the acclaimed author of The Deluge and The Wages of Destruction. 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.

WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES PRIZE FOR HISTORY FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2014On the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, Deluge is a powerful explanation of why the war's legacy continues to shape our world - from Adam Tooze, the Wolfson Prize-winning author of The Wages of DestructionIn the depths of the Great War, with millions of dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. As the cataclysmic battles continued, a new global order was being born.Adam Tooze's panoramic new book tells a radical, new story of the struggle for global mastery from the battles of the Western Front in 1916 to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The war shook the foundations of political and economic order across Eurasia. Empires that had lasted since the Middle Ages collapsed into ruins. New nations sprang up. Strikes, street-fighting and revolution convulsed much of the world. And beneath the surface turmoil, the war set in motion a deeper and more lasting shift, a transformation that continues to shape the present day: 1916 was the year when world affairs began to revolve around the United States. America was both a uniquely powerful global force: a force that was forward-looking, the focus of hope, money and ideas, and at the same time elusive, unpredictable and in fundamental respects unwilling to confront these unwished for responsibilities. Tooze shows how the fate of effectively the whole of civilization - the British Empire, the future of peace in Europe, the survival of the Weimar Republic, both the Russian and Chinese revolutions and stability in the Pacific - now came to revolve around this new power's fraught relationship with a shockingly changed world. The Deluge is both a brilliantly illuminating exploration of the past and an essential history for the present.

FINALIST FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2022 THE TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2021 'A complex story, which Tooze tells with clarity and verve... The world is unlikely to be treated to a better account of the economics of the pandemic' The TimesFrom the author of Crashed comes a gripping short history of how Covid-19 ravaged the global economy, and where it leaves us now When the news first began to trickle out of China about a new virus in December 2019, risk-averse financial markets were alert to its potential for disruption. Yet they could never have predicted the total economic collapse that would follow in COVID-19's wake, as stock markets fell faster and harder than at any time since 1929, currencies across the world plunged, investors panicked, and even gold was sold.In a matter of weeks, the world's economy was brought to an abrupt halt by governments trying to contain a spiralling public health catastrophe. Flights were grounded; supply chains broken; industries from tourism to oil to hospitality collapsed overnight, leaving hundreds of millions of people unemployed. Central banks responded with unprecedented interventions, just to keep their economies on life-support. For the first time since the second world war, the entire global economic system contracted.This book tells the story of that shutdown. We do not yet know how this story ends, or what new world we will find on the other side. In this fast-paced, compelling and at times shocking analysis, Adam Tooze surveys the wreckage, and looks at where we might be headed next.'A seriously impressive book, both endlessly quotable and rigorously analytical' Oliver Bullough, The Guardian

Over the past fifty years the climate crisis has become the defining story of our time. Here acclaimed historian Adam Tooze offers a sweeping, revelatory account of how climate change reordered the world economy and exposed the limits of Western power.This is the story of globalization itself: of how the fossil-fuel age accelerated into planetary crisis even as we discovered the technological means to escape it. It is the story of the great wager of the late twentieth century, that liberal capitalism, triumphant after 1989, could lead to sustainable prosperity, and of how that wager unravelled.While the United States and Europe grappled with how to respond to the climate crisis, China emerged as the engine of the green revolution: both the world’s greatest carbon emitter and an unexpected architect of decarbonization. The result is an unsettling reality in which the future of the planet may depend on an authoritarian superpower that the West neither fully understands nor controls.A paradigm-shifting work, Carbon offers a new lens to understand not just the past but also the future.

The Economic Consequences of the Peace is one of the most famous books in the history of economic thought. It is also one of the most polemical. Published as a response to what Keynes saw as the grave errors of the Treaty of Versailles, the book predicted that war reparations and other harsh terms imposed on Germany would lead to its collapse, which in turn would lead to devastating consequences for Europe and the wider world. Predictions that we now know to have been all too accurate. Keynes's Economic Consequences of the Peace after 100 Years brings together an international team of experts to assess the legacy of Keynes's best-selling work. It compiles a series of wide-ranging chapters, exploring the varied influence of his ideas and policy contributions. Written in an accessible style, it recovers the importance of this history and examines the continued relevance of Keynes's controversial book.

The conflict that ended in 1945 is often described as a 'total war', unprecedented in both scale and character. Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as the political economy of industrial war, the social practices of war, the moral economy of war and peace and the repercussions of catastrophic destruction. A team of nearly thirty leading historians together show how entire nations mobilized their economies and populations in the face of unimaginable violence, and how they dealt with the subsequent losses that followed. The volume concludes by considering the lasting impact of the conflict and the memory of war across different cultures of commemoration.

Die moderne Demokratie ist eine noch junge Erfindung. Sie war das politisch Neue, das Charakteristische und Dynamische des Zeitalters nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. In diesen Jahrzehnten wurde Demokratie zur Normalität, zur umfassenden Regierungs- und Lebensform, deren Ablösung undenkbar schien. Und diese Entwicklung fand in vielen, vor allem in europäischen Gesellschaften gleichzeitig statt.Historikerinnen und Historiker aus zahlreichen europäischen Ländern und aus Amerika befassen sich in diesem Band mit Kernfragen der vergleichenden Demokratieforschung: mit der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz der Demokratie, der Vielfalt ihrer Ausdrucksformen in Politik und Alltagsleben oder der Ausbildung eines dauerhaften demokratischen Erwartungshorizonts. Sie gehen der Frage nach, wie die Demokratie selbstverständlich wurde und es auch in existenziellen Krisen blieb - und warum sie dennoch in einigen Fällen zerstört wurde. In der Zusammenschau werden die transnationalen Gemeinsamkeiten und Gleichzeitigkeiten sichtbar, aber auch die durch die nationalen Kontexte bedingten Unterschiede.Deutlich zeigt sich mit der Normalität zugleich das Brüchige dieser Ordnung, die Notwendigkeit, demokratische Grundlagen immer wieder aufs Neue zu sichern; Demokratie ist stets doppelgesichtig, geprägt sowohl von Instabilität und Stabilität, von Fragilität und Kreativität. Wenn heute die Fragilität der Demokratie wieder in den politischen Horizont rückt und von "gefährlichen Zeiten" für die Demokratie die Rede ist - dann bietet der Blick zurück in die Epoche, in der die Demokratie zur Normalität wurde, aber diese Normalität nicht ohne Fragilität zu denken war, erstaunliche Erkenntnisse auch für die heutige Zeit.

The fear of living in the end times has a long history. In Decadence and Decay, a group of distinguished international scholars describe how societies over time have handled and interpreted the concept of decline. In times of unrest and transition, declinism the notion that a culture or civilisation is headed towards irreversible decline tends to capture the public imagination. The essays in this volume address how notions of decadence and decay have been used both as opprobrium and as a form of self-definition and empowerment an instrument to protect individualism against collectivistic oppression. From ancient Rome to the present, ideas and expressions of decadence and decay have played a critical role in how we perceive the world.
