Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalization by Gordon Brown （英国财长新作） 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

The international financial crisis that has held our global

economy in its grip for too long still seems to be in full stride.

Former British Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer

Gordon Brown believes the crisis can be reversed, but that the

world’s leaders must work together if we are to avoid a decade of

lost jobs and low growth.

Brown speaks both as someone who was in the room driving

discussions that led to some crucial decisions and as an expert

renowned for his remarkable financial acumen. No one who had

Brown’s access has written about the crisis yet, and no one has

written so convincingly about what the global community must do

next in order to climb out of this abyss. Brown outlines the

shocking recklessness and irresponsibility of the banks that he

believes contributed to the depth and breadth of the crisis. As he

sees it, the crisis was brought on not simply by technical

failings, but by ethical failings too. Brown argues that markets

need morals and suggests that the only way to truly ensure that the

world economy does not flounder so badly again is to institute a

banking constitution and a global growth plan for jobs and

justice.

Beyond the Crash puts forth not just an explanation for

what happened, but a directive for how to prevent future financial

disasters. Long admired for his grasp of economic issues, Brown

describes the individual events that he believes led to the crisis

unfolding as it did. He synthesizes the many historical precedents

leading to the current status, from the 1933 London conference of

world leaders that failed to resolve the Great Depression to the

more recent crash in the Asian housing market. Brown’s analysis is

of paramount importance during these uncertain financial times.

As Brown himself said of his ideas for the future, “We now live

in a world of global trade, global financial flows, global

movements of people, and instant global communications. Our

economies are connected as never before, and I believe that global

economic problems require global solutions and global institutions.

In writing my analysis of the financial crisis, I wanted to help

explain how we got here, but more important, to offer some

recommendations as to how the next stage of globalization can be

managed so that the economy works for people and not the other way

around.”##

***

The crisis exposed the contradiction of globalization

itself: as economies have become more interconnected,

regulators and governments have failed to keep pace and increase

coordination. It is a failure intrinsic to unregulated global

markets, an instability that resulted from the manner in which

increasing flows of capital around the world happened and impacted

the economy. And it is a failure of collective action at an

international level to respond quickly enough to the structural

imbalances and inequities that arose.

At its simplest, then, this is the first true crisis of

globalization. For the first time everybody, from the richest

person in the richest city to the poorest person in the poorest

slum, was affected by the same crisis. Although its roots are

global, its impact is local, directly felt on nearly every main

street, on nearly every shop floor, around nearly every kitchen

table.

Billions of people around the world are in need of and are

demanding a better globalization. It is the nature of power that

you always leave tasks unfinished when you leave office. It is the

nature of politics that the argument must continue. This book is my

warning of a decade of lost growth and my answer to that fear with

a call for a better globalization. It is an explanation of a

pattern in the numbers that points to an enormous opportunity to

alleviate poverty, create jobs, and grow. A future of low growth,

high unemployment, decline, and decay is not inevitable; it’s about

the change we choose.

  Gordon Brown served as British Prime Minister and leader

of the Labour Party from 2007 to 2010. He served as Chancellor

of the Exchequer from 1997 to 2007, making him the longest-serving

Chancellor in modern history. Brown's time as Chancellor was marked

by major reform of Britain's monetary and fiscal policy and

sustained investment in health, education, and overseas aid.

As Prime Minister, his tenure coincided with the recent financial

crisis, and he was one of the first to initiate calls for global

financial action; his administration also simultaneously introduced

a range of rescue measures within the country. Brown has a Ph.D. in

History from the University of Edinburgh, and he spent his early

career working as a television journalist. He has been a Member of

Parliament since 1983. He is married to Sarah Brown, a charity

campaigner, and the couple has two young sons.
