The Bankers Who Broke the World
The book offers an in-depth analysis of the events leading up to the Great Depression from the perspective of four central bankers from the United States, Britain, France, and Germany. The author argues that these individuals, through their decision-making and policies, inadvertently contributed to the economic turmoil of the 1930s. The book provides a historical examination of the global financial system, monetary policy, and the role of central banks, ultimately highlighting the human factor in economic catastrophes.
