Crashed

Ten years later: The financial crash and its dramatic consequences. When the US investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008, it marked the low point of the banking and financial crisis. And although the total collapse of the global economy was averted at that time, the financial crisis is far from over, as British historian Adam Tooze demonstrates. He describes how this crisis of the financial markets came about and what dramatic consequences it continues to have today. For not only has the financial crisis shaken the stability of Europe, but it has also undermined trust in the strength of the global economic order, contributing to the rise of populism.
