Lords of Finance

Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World by Liaquat Ahamed

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to a Blackstone audio version during commutes. I never would have finished it if I had been reading as a book for too many characters were introduced and never heard from again. That's a problem with nonfiction, you can't make a composite character for the sake of the narrative.

I learned a lot and recommend it (that's why I give it 4 stars.) I recommend the last section (disc 19 for me) where the author compares certain similarities between the advice and strategies of economic advisors and the stance of politicians with historical events.
