In this episode, Nancy Jacklin sits down with Caroline Atkinson, a former senior official at both the US Treasury Department and the IMF, to discuss the financial crises of the 1990's and how they caused a shift in IMF focus to predict future vulnerabilities and avoid further crises.
Adam Tooze returns to PTO to discuss the key causal factors that allowed fascism to emerge in the early twentieth century and whether conditions that would enable fascism on the interwar model exist today. We also talked about whether describing the Bolsanaros, the Le Pens and the Orbans of this world as fascist may be analytically wrong but tactically effective, and about how close the Latin American dictatorships of the 1970s and 80s are to the fascist model.

‘Polycrisis', a relatively new term, was in the air at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in January, where people were discussing the intertwined global issues of war, economic uncertainty, inflation, recession and the climate crisis, among others. But does that word really tell us anything new about the world we live in and the challenges we face? Historian Adam Tooze tells us about the origins of the term and of the polycrisis itself. Adam Tooze is Professor of History at the University of Columbia in New York. He is also host of Foreign Policy's weekly economics podcast Ones and Tooze, and the author of books including Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World and, most recently, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy.

Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed the world's balance of economic power? How important were political leaders in responding to the crisis born out of the pandemic? Has the latter led to a proliferation of propaganda and disinformation? How serious is the threat of Covid-19 when compared to other problems facing humanity, such as global warming or other public health crises? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Adam Tooze in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. A renowned historian, commentator and author, Adam Tooze is a Professor at Columbia University in New York, where he is Director of the European Institute. In the past, he has taught at Cambridge and Yale Universities, as well as at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Tooze teaches and researches widely in the fields of twentieth century and contemporary history with a special focus on the history of economics and a range of themes in political, intellectual, and military history, across a canvas stretching from Europe to the Atlantic. His books have won awards in several countries, and his articles have been published in newspapers or magazines such as the Financial Times, New York Times, The Guardian, Sunday Telegraph, Observer, Prospect Magazine, Times Literary Supplement, London Review of Books, Wall Street Journal, New York Review of Books, Die Zeit or Spiegel. In this episode, Tooze discusses the initial reaction of financial markets to the Covid-19 pandemic, the way in which the three major poles of the world economy (United States, the European Union and China) suffered an “extraordinary shock” with the pandemic, and how structural factors and luck were the decisive elements in each society's response to the crisis. Tooze also addresses the challenge of global warming, the role that countries such as China, Brazil, India, or Indonesia may play in responding to this challenge, and what kind of measures will have to be adopted for this response to be successful. Finally, Tooze also looks at issues such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine (and the West's and China's responses), or how citizens and governments regard statistics, facts, and truth.

JM Keynes and his theory, Keynesianism, is central to the financial history of twentieth century. However, he is also central to its cultural history. Keynes was not only an economist, but a man equally concerned with aesthetics and ethics; as interested in the ballet as he was with the stock market crash. Anne McElvoy talks to Robert Hudson about the musical drama has written about the political trading behind the Treaty of Versailles from Keynes's perspective. How does looking again at Keynes life and work offer us a different view of the man and his times? Zachary D.

“It is no secret that European studies has suffered a setback in the academy”, write William Collins Donahue and Martin Kagel in their contribution to European Studies: Past, Present and Future (Agenda Publishing, 2020).

Adam Tooze --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Green can be a moral color, a political color, or an economic color. Join William Blair's Hugo Scott-Gall for a conversation with Adam Tooze, history professor at Columbia University and author of "Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World," for a multidisciplinary discussion of how the decade is shaping up from an economic historian's perspective—including climate change, inequality, geopolitics, and fragile financial markets.
Where is Britain in its economic history? How has the country risen or fallen in the hierarchy of states since the end of the Cold War? What economic and sociological megatrends have shaped the politics of Brexit? And what role has the Bank of England played shaping the country's recent political economy? To answer these questions and more I spoke to Professor Adam Tooze of Columbia University, where he is director of the European Institute and author most recently of "Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World" for this week's #BritainDebrief.
Adam Tooze is my guest today in #CapitalismAfterCoronavirus. Adam is a professor of history at Columbia University, and serves as Director of the European Institute. He is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging intellectuals of our time. He recently wrote the book that many consider the key account of the financial crisis of 2008 and its consequences: Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. In this episode, we discuss the political sustainability of the current monetary policy, the geopolitical consequences of the vaccine race, and how to think about the future of the China-US- Europe relationship.

New Books at the Heyman Center: a podcast featuring audio from events at Columbia University, and interviews with the speakers and authors. From a prizewinning economic historian, an eye-opening reinterpretation of the 2008 economic crisis (and its ten-year aftermath) as a global event that directly led to the shockwaves being felt around the world today. In September 2008 President George Bush could still describe the financial crisis as an incident local to Wall Street. In fact it was a dramatic caesura of global significance that spiraled around the world, from the financial markets of the UK and Europe to the factories and dockyards of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, forcing a rearrangement of global governance. In the United States and Europe, it caused a fundamental reconsideration of capitalist democracy, eventually leading to the war in the Ukraine, the chaos of Greece, Brexit, and Trump. It was the greatest crisis to have struck Western societies since the end of the Cold War, but was it inevitable? And is it over? Crashed is a dramatic new narrative resting on original themes: the haphazard nature of economic development and the erratic path of debt around the world; the unseen way individual countries and regions are linked together in deeply unequal relationships through financial interdependence, investment, politics, and force; the ways the financial crisis interacted with the spectacular rise of social media, the crisis of middle-class America, the rise of China, and global struggles over fossil fuels. Finally, Tooze asks, given this history, what now are the prospects for a liberal, stable, and coherent world order?

Brad Setser is the Steven A. Tanenbaum Senior Fellow for International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations. He previously served as the deputy assistant secretary for international economic analysis in the U.S. Treasury from 2011 to 2015. In this interview, Dr. Setser discusses how tax avoidance schemes by corporations could distort conventional understanding of cross-national capital flows, and how such capital flows through shell companies are driving international balance of payments. He argues we should pay more attention to external debt, particularly on exports and debt in foreign currency, rather than solely focusing on the government debt alone. He highlights the puzzling debt histories of two countries in particular: Japan, which should be in trouble but is not; and Argentina, which gets into trouble no matter what. We also touch on the important topics of progressive tax policies and how it’s entirely realistic to close down international tax loopholes. It’s noteworthy that Dr. Setser appears in the first chapter of Adam Tooze’s book of “Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World” by Adam Tooze, whom we interviewed last spring. It’s very unfortunate that this is a relatively short interview, but we hope it can be an introduction to a vast and important field of issues that you may continue to learn about afterwards. This interview was recorded in March at the 2020 annual conference of the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance, and the theme was “Development Finance in Fragile States.” You may read more about Dr. Setser’s conference presentation on our webpage, and you can subscribe to his blog and newsletter “Follow the Money” on the webpage of Council on Foreign Relations.

In this Global Thought Podcast episode, Adam Tooze, Committee on Global Thought (CGT) Member and Professor of History at Columbia University, discusses his most recent book: 'Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World' with host, CGT Chair Carol Gluck. Tooze gives a bit of context into this prize-winning book as one of Foreign Policy’s Top 100 Global Thinkers for 2019. A key theme he discusses is the 2008 financial, global crisis and the ways that it was different than what the world anticipated. This glimpse into the inner sanctum of the global economy in a moment of high crisis, as Tooze explains, has interesting implications on the way that we think of and prepare for the future.
In episode #372, recorded at the 72nd CFA Institute Annual Conference in London, Adam Tooze, a professor of history and director of the European Institute at Columbia University, discusses his most recent book, Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. Crashed has been described as “an eye-opening reinterpretation of the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath, leading to the political shock waves you are feeling in the world today." In this short conversation, Professor Tooze discusses his main purpose in writing the book, connects the dots from 2008 to Brexit, and reflects on whether the global financial system is more resilient now.

It’s been ten years since the 2008 financial crisis, and scholars and policy makers are still reflecting on its causes and effects. The world has gone through a series of tightening regulations and de-risking; the transparency and interdependence of the financial sector have improved… But is the crisis truly over? In 2018, 10 years after the crisis, a compelling analysis of what really happened was published –– "Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World." Prof. Tooze teaches and researches widely in the fields of twentieth-century and contemporary history. From a start in modern German history with a special focus on the history of economics and economic history his interests have widened to take in a range of themes in political, intellectual and military history, across a canvass stretching from Europe across the Atlantic. A few punchlines? Using the national economic paradigm from the 20th century to explain the financial crisis is outdated. The “macrofinancial” revolution tries to re-map the global economy through interlocking corporate balance sheets and cash flows, and that’s a much more novel perspective. The only place that we’re seeing growth dynamic enough and credit building up rapid enough to see anything remotely like the 2008 crisis would be China, though we’re not sure about its whiplash effects. When you say “too big to fail” nowadays, you probably don’t even think of the banks anymore, and the attention has shifted to big techs and many other corporations.
Adam Tooze, economic historian and author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World, joins the FT’s Brendan Greeley and Brown University’s Mark Blyth to discuss how our politics got us to where we are today, why our ideas about how the economy works may not be fit for purpose, and the key role that China played during the Great Recession and continues to play today. They also discuss the central importance of global capital flows for understanding our world and why global liquidity may be much more fragile than we like to think.

Historian Adam Tooze, the author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World, explains how crisis in an unprecedentedly powerful and interconnected global banking system coursed through American homes and European sovereign debt markets, exploding into the Tea Party and the European politics of austerity—and, ultimately, leading to today's legitimation crisis of the reigning political establishment and economic order.

For the first time ever, the European Union rejected a proposed budget from a member state: Italy. A deadlock has ensued, threatening a "doom loop" that could consume Italy's economy, the eurozone, and perhaps even the global economy. Former International Monetary Fund official Isabelle Mateos y Lago and Adam Tooze, economic historian and author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World, join Brian Hanson to discuss this issue.
对于我而言,2008年的金融危机只流于纸面。大概是因为当时中国经济并受到太大冲击,也因为当时虽已年纪不小但还有少年不知愁滋味的状态。 十年过去,再不关心宏观经济的人,大概也会隐隐觉得很多坏消息正在纷至沓来。所以,我们真的是要见证一场经济危机的到来吗? 这个话题其实很大,这次节目即使聊了很长时间,也只能算是抛转引玉。 这次请到的两位嘉宾都是经济学方向的硕士。一位是饶煜东,毕业于康奈尔大学应用经济专业,主修行为经济学,主要研究宏观经济变动以及宏观政策。一位是李彦,毕业于康奈尔大学应用经济专业,主修期权期货,主要研究金融方向大宗商品的对冲政策策略。 Enjoy! 相关信息 Ray Dalio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Dalio),新书《A Template For Understanding Big Debt Crises》 (https://www.amazon.com/Big-Debt-Crises-Ray-Dalio-ebook/dp/B07GLBHM48/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540099820&sr=1-1&keywords=A+Template+For+Understanding+Big+Debt+Crises)的作者,美国著名的投资人,对冲基金桥水公司的创始人,世界上前100名最富有的人之一,也是一个非常善于思考的人。 电影《大空头》(The big short) (https://movie.douban.com/subject/26303622/),最容易帮你理解2008年金融危机的一部电影。 Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World (https://www.amazon.com/Crashed-Decade-Financial-Crises-Changed/dp/0670024937) , 另一本在2018年夏天刚出的讲述2008年经融危机之后对全球影响的新书 Special Guests: 李彦 and 饶煜东.

In this episode, Stacy Mitchell, ILSR's co-director, chats with author and journalist David Dayen. David is the author of the acclaimed book Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud, which was named the winner of Studs and Ida Terkel Prize. David is also the Goodman Fellow at In These Times and a contributing writer to the Intercept and New Republic. David's work focuses on the underlying policies that allow the big and powerful to rig the economy and get away with it. He's great at shining a light on corruption and connecting the dots between systems of injustice and people's everyday experiences — whether that's paying exorbitant airline ticket prices or losing a home to foreclosure. Stacy and David discuss: how candidates are talking about corporate concentration on the campaign trail, the ten-year anniversary of the financial crisis and what today's reporting about it is getting wrong, bringing local control back into politics, how we ended up with a two-tiered criminal justice system that's soft on fraud, and what makes a good story for investigative journalism. J.D. Scholten is running in a farm state and he is really looking at issues of big agriculture, monopoly power in the farming sector… issues that are really very immediate for Iowa families, particularly farmers. So, that's a way to bring these issues to a very direct and immediate level. When you're talking about family farm financing, when you're talking about the systems by which seed monopolies or livestock monopolies make it difficult for the livelihoods of family farmers. That's a way to really bring those messages [around corruption and corporate power] into focus.

I'm Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. The 2018 midterm elections are just weeks away and they're taking place against a backdrop of unprecedented corporate power and widespread corruption. We have Wall Street banks that are rewriting the rules for how we regulate banks for their own benefit. We have Jeff Bezos emerging as the richest person in the world with a net worth of around 160 billion dollars, even as median wages for ordinary people haven't budged in more than two decades. We have private tech companies that are profiting from our immigration policies. Everywhere it seems the structural imbalance of power is becoming ever more apparent and deeply troubling. One journalist who has been working tirelessly to shine a light on injustice and corruption is my guest today, David Dayen. What I love about David's work is that it isn't just about bad actors, it's about the underlying policies that allow the big and powerful to rig the economy and get away with it. With the election coming up, I was eager to get David on the show to see if he sees any signs of hope in what candidates are talking about on the campaign trail. I also want to ask him about being an investigative reporter, how he looks for stories and what makes a good story. David is the author of a really terrific book that if you haven't read you should. It's called Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great F...
When we think back to ten years ago and the events of the financial crisis, such as the fall of Lehman Brothers and the bailout of AIG, it’s easy to only recall what happened in the U.S. But in reality, the crisis was an enormous global mess, and one that actually started in Europe. That’s why today we’re joined by Adam Tooze, professor of history at Columbia University and author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. Tooze delivers an in-depth reinterpretation of the 2008 economic crisis as a global event that directly led to the shockwaves being felt around the world today. In September 2008 President George Bush could still describe the financial crisis as an incident local to Wall Street. In fact it was a period of dramatic global significance that spiraled around the world, from the financial markets of the UK and Europe to the factories and dockyards of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, forcing a rearrangement of global governance. In the United States and Europe, it caused a fundamental reconsideration of capitalist democracy, eventually leading to the war in the Ukraine, the chaos of Greece, Brexit, and the eventual election of Donald Trump. It was the greatest crisis to have struck Western societies since the end of the Cold War, but was it inevitable? And is it over? Crashed is a narrative resting on three original themes: The haphazard nature of economic development and the erratic path of debt around the worldThe unseen way individual countries and regions are linked together in deeply unequal relationships through financial interdependence, investment, politics, and forceThe ways the financial crisis interacted with the rise of social media, the crisis of middle-class America, the rise of China, and global struggles over fossil fuelsGiven this history, what are the prospects for a stable and coherent world order?

The holy grail of physics is a unified field theory that somehow explains both the micro and macro aspects of how the world works. The same holds true for what Thomas Carlyle called the “dismal science” of economics, as we seek to understand the causes and consequences of the 2008 financial meltdown. In this week's WhoWhatWhy podcast, Jeff Schechtman talks with economic historian Adam Tooze, professor of history at Columbia University and award-winning author, about a reinterpretation of the 2008 financial crisis through the lens of what came before and what followed in its wake. On this tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Tooze explains how, contrary to popular mythology, this was not just a problem that started in the US and rippled outward, but a global problem: the first real crisis of the global age. He explains how decades of not fully understanding financial entanglement helped set in motion the shock waves that were felt around the world and that are still reverberating today in the economics of Europe and the developing world and in politics in the US. In his conversation with Schechtman, Tooze shows how financial globalization engaged the entire world, how China ended up owning America's public debt, and how Europe's megabanks helped funnel trillions of dollars into the riskiest American mortgages. Tooze points out that the threat of financial instability in European and American banking is still with us, although invisible. And how the 2008 crisis not only changed the financial landscape, but gave rise to a new regime of global governance in response. He reminds us that China is, without question, the most important factor in the world economy: 30 percent of all global economic growth now comes from China. That's more than the US and Europe combined. GM today sells more cars in China than in the US. While we may not have realized it, at the height of crisis the Federal Reserve stuffed Europe's banks with trillions of dollars of liquidity and outsourced $4.5 trillion in credit to European and Asian central banks. Tooze also talks about the near-miss economic crisis in China in 2015-2016, and why this is a harbinger of just how dangerous things might become in the near future. Adam Tooze is the author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World (Viking, August 7, 2018).
Adam Tooze joins me for part two of our discussion on his new book, 'Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World'. We spoke about the Brexit vote, Emmanuel Macron's EU reform agenda, the prospects for a radical Labour government, and why it is that Marxists keep claiming Adam (a self-described liberal) for one of their own.

Crashed - Helen and David talk to historian Adam Tooze about his epic new book Crashed: How A Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. Why did the crash of 2008 take so many people by surprise? How did it spread from the US around the world? Why was Europe so vulnerable? And how do the answers to these questions help explain Brexit, Trump and what's now going on in places from Hungary to China? Plus, as we approach the 10-year anniversary of the event that triggered the crisis, we explore what might have happened if Lehman Brothers had been saved.

How are the subprime collapse in the US and the Eurozone crisis that came after linked? Why did a cartel of mega-wealthy businessmen do a good job at rescuing the US from disaster, and a group of well-intentioned political technocrats make such a hash of it in Europe? And how is the Balance of Financial Terror between the US and China holding up these days? Adam Tooze, author of 'Crashed: How A Decade of Financial Crises Changed The World', joins Sam Leith

On The Gist, Jay Sekulow and Rudy Giuliani. The financial crisis of 2008 wasn’t just an American phenomenon. It was felt all across the globe, with other Western countries suffering the same pain, but enough hasn’t been done about our banks to ensure long-term stability.
