A World of Woes - a global tae on a decade of financial crises

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/17/the-real-cost-of-the-2008-financial-crisis

A great "book review" (but so much more) of Adam Tooze's "Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World", with an overview and summary of the standard narrative of the financial crises, versus the consequences (especially the political) of the actions taken to stabilize the economy in 2008 and 2009.

If I had had the time, I'm sure the Tooze's "tomb" (700-pages) would be an interesting read.
