the Great Depression, the great recession, and the uses-and misuses-of history Eichengreen, Barry J 1952- creator text bibliography xxu New York (Estados Unidos) Oxford University Press 2015 monographic eng vi, 512 Páginas "A brilliantly conceived dual-track account of the two greatest economic crises of the last century and their consequences"-- "The Great Depression and the Great Recession are the two great economic crises of the past hundred years. While there are accounts of both episodes, no one has yet attempted a sustained comparative analysis. In Hall of Mirrors, Barry Eichengreen draws on his unparalleled expertise for a brilliantly conceived dual-track account of the two crises and their consequences. Rather than telling the stories of the two crises in sequence, instead he weaves them together. He describes the two bubble-fuelled build-ups, then the onset of crisis, the subsequent financial and economic and collapse, the policy response, and finally the recovery." -- Introduction. -- Part I: The best of times. -- New age economics. -- Golden globe. -- Competing on a violent scale. -- By legislation or fiat. -- Where credit is due. -- Castles in Spain. -- Part II: The worst of times -- Spent bullets -- The next leg down -- On Europe's shores -- Will America topple too? -- Largely contained -- Scant evidence -- The spiral -- Fish or foul -- Part III: Toward better times -- Revival or reform -- Something for everyone -- Takahashi's revenge -- Dip again -- Preventing the worst -- Stressed and stimulated -- Unconventional policy -- Part IV: Avoiding the next time -- Wall Street and Main Street -- Normalization in an abnormal economy -- Making things as difficult as possible -- Men in black -- Euro or not -- Conclusion. specialized Barry Eichengreen Incluye referencias bibliográficas e índices Crisis económica 1929 Política económica Historia Siglo XX Crisis financiera global, 2008-2009 Depresión mundial 1929 Economía internacional 9780199392001 Co-BoUCM 151110 20240429094810.0 spa
