Adam Tooze: The 2008 Global Crisis: Approaches to a Future History

Thank you very much for enlightening me. As of now, I can happily skip any financial news in the mass media, since it bears no resemblance to what really happens.

An exceptional talk.

[@bernieburrows3731]

Wow! Does Anam have anything on global poverty?

Fantastic question and interesting response at 1.15. Where does that answer put the Habermasian thesis about global governance though?

Right . . . is there agency? . . . if so, when do you use it? What are the levers and when do you use them, when do you let things correct themselves? "A lot money, a lot of money management." which I took to mean that agency and market are in an inextricable relationship one reacting to the other in intractable ways. "It's a psychodrama" . . . Haberman, in my opinion would be OK with that because of his roots in dialectics. My guess is he's not a central-control freak a la Stalin. Also really good question and interesting response at 1:20:23. The liquidity vs solvency distinction crystalize the whole talk for me. Loved the question and the response. Most people think not in terms of the shock but in terms of the long-term roots and consequence. Once you realize this talk is about death by shock and how to avoid iit, you get it. Similarly, people in a car accident will die from so-called "toxic shock" . . . not the actual trauma. So first order of business is avoid what's going to kill in the immediate (hence liquidity) then worry about the long-term (hence solvency) . The latter is irrelevant if you can't solve the former.

Thank heavens for public disclosure laws. Lack of disclosure to the public by people who are entrusted with management of PUBLIC money, is disturbing. And let's not forget that the banking crisis was created by the bankers in a first place.
