Adam Tooze: On the 2008 financial crisis and deep globalization
In this Global Thought Podcast episode, Adam Tooze, Committee on Global Thought (CGT) Member and Professor of History at Columbia University, discusses his most recent book: 'Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World' with host, CGT Chair Carol Gluck. Tooze gives a bit of context into this prize-winning book as one of Foreign Policy’s Top 100 Global Thinkers for 2019. A key theme he discusses is the 2008 financial, global crisis and the ways that it was different than what the world anticipated. This glimpse into the inner sanctum of the global economy in a moment of high crisis, as Tooze explains, has interesting implications on the way that we think of and prepare for the future.
