Book review: crashed: how a decade of financial crises changed the world by Adam Tooze (part 1)

In Crashed: How a decade of financial crises changed the world, author Adam Tooze proposes a remarkably consistent narrative of the 2008 financial crisis and its political, geopolitical consequences - one that attempts a coherent interpretation of the global and European crises. In part one of his review of this seminal work, Shahin Vallée examines Tooze's take on the collapse of the financial system, and saving the economy at the cost of our politics.
