About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Crashed by Adam Tooze, read by Simon Vance, with an introduction read by the author.
In September 2008 the Great Financial Crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman brothers, shook the world. A decade later its spectre still haunts us. As the appalling scope and scale of the crash was revealed, the financial institutions that had symbolised the West's triumph since the end of the Cold War, seemed - through greed, malice and incompetence - to be about to bring the entire system to its knees.
Crashed is a brilliantly original and assured analysis of what happened and how we were rescued from something even worse - but at a price which continues to undermine democracy across Europe and the United States. Gnawing away at our institutions are the many billions of dollars which were conjured up to prevent complete collapse. Over and over again, the end of the crisis has been announced, but it continues to hound us - whether in Greece or Ukraine, whether through Brexit or Trump. Adam Tooze follows the trail like no previous writer and has written a book compelling as history, as economic analysis and as political horror story.

If your head doesn't spin your name is Bismarck
The weeds are thick and you can easily get lost (especially in the first few chapters). But if you stick in there, you'll get to a point of marvelous clarity at the state of contemporary geopolitics.

Excellent
Highly detailed account of the period with great insights into how and why actions were made and the implications thereafter.

Good Detail but a lot of bias
The author is a typical liberal who name calls those he does not like. If you can get through the bias and the rhetoric there is some good detail on the actual topic.
