In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades.

The author has a knack for taking a dry subject and making it as interesting as a historical novel. This is a witty and interesting recount of the great men who changed Western economy in the early twentieth century and during World War I. It also offers a striking parallel to our own sudden economic failure. I put the book down and understood economic policy. Definitely a must-read for anyone concerned with the present crisis.
