review 1: A very interesting explanation of the world economic collapse of 1929 to 1933. Ahamed approaches the explanation via biographies of the US, British, French and German central bankers. It works. This was a great read and very informative. I was continually surprised by how fascinating the story was. Highly recommended as an intro to The Depression and to the early history of our Federal Reserve. Plus, the central bankers were very strong characters and fun to read about.
review 2: La crise de 29 par le prisme des destins des banquiers centraux. Cela fait écho forcément à la situation que nous vivons. Avec des décideurs dépassés et des économistes aux avis divergents.Pour l'anecdote, je retiens une citation de The Nation, un magazine américain, qui
... moredate de 1932 : " Si vous volez 25 dollars, c'est du vol, si vous en volez 250,000, c'est du détournement de fonds, si vous en volez 2,5 millions, c'est de la finance." less

a great insight...but gets a little slow and would need an ardent reader to maintain the interest

Good overview of the 1930 meltdown but does get a bit dense in a few chapters
