Adam Tooze Book order

From the author of Crashed comes a gripping short history of how Covid-19 ravaged the global economy, and where it leaves us now When the news first began to trickle out of China about a new virus in December 2019, risk-averse financial markets were alert to its potential for disruption. Yet they could never have predicted the total economic collapse that would follow in COVID-19's wake, as stock markets fell faster and harder than at any time since 1929, currencies across the world plunged, investors panicked, and even gold was sold. In a matter of weeks, the world's economy was brought to an abrupt halt by governments trying to contain a spiralling public health catastrophe. Flights were grounded; supply chains broken; industries from tourism to oil to hospitality collapsed overnight, leaving hundreds of millions of people unemployed. Central banks responded with unprecedented interventions, just to keep their economies on life-support. For the first time since the second world war, the entire global economic system contracted. This book tells the story of that shutdown. We do not yet know how this story ends, or what new world we will find on the other side. In this fast-paced, compelling and at times shocking analysis, Adam Tooze surveys the wreckage, and looks at where we might be headed next.

CORONA CUT - DIE PANDEMIE UND DIE ZUKUNFT DER GLOBALISIERTEN WELT Adam Tooze erzählt in seinem atemberaubenden Buch die Geschichte der zwölf Monate vom Januar 2020 bis Januar 2021. Am Anfang gibt Xi Jinping der Weltöffentlichkeit bekannt, dass sich in China ein tödliches neues Virus ausbreitet. Am Ende zieht Joe Biden als Nachfolger von Donald Trump ins Weiße Haus ein. Dazwischen liegen die Schockwellen einer Pandemie, die keinen Kontinent, kein Land und keine Bevölkerung ungeschoren lässt. Der brillante Wirtschaftshistoriker Tooze schildert nicht nur, wie und warum Staaten und nationale Ökonomien auf jeweils eigene Weise und mit sehr unterschiedlichen Resultaten auf das Geschehen reagiert haben. Er analysiert die Pandemie auch im Kontext der anderen großen Krisen unserer Zeit, von der Finanzkrise über die Klimakrise bis zur Flüchtlingskrise. Welt im Lockdown ist eine tiefenscharfe Diagnose der Gegenwart und ein Buch, aus dem man lernen kann, wie die globalisierte Welt funktioniert, in der wir heute leben. Spannend wie ein Thriller - Adam Tooze beschreibt unsere Welt im radikalen Wandel Wie gehen die Regierungen weltweit mit der nie dagewesenen Krise um und welche Konsequenzen hat das? Eine tiefgreifende Analyse unserer Gegenwart weit über die Corona-Krise hinaus Tooze gilt als einer der besten Wirtschaftshistoriker seiner Generation

Wie aus den Trümmern des Ersten Weltkriegs eine neue Welt entstand Wie eine Sintflut riss der Erste Weltkrieg die alte Ordnung hinweg, wirbelte gesellschaftliche, politische und ökonomische Vormachtstellungen durcheinander, ließ ganze Reiche zerbrechen und neu entstehen. In einem weltumspannenden Panorama beschreibt Adam Tooze die fundamentalen Verschiebungen der Zwischenkriegszeit und legt dar, wie fatal sich vor allem die Rolle der USA auswirkte: Die neue Weltmacht scheiterte letztlich daran, dauerhaft für Frieden zu sorgen.

In the depths of the Great War, with millions of dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. A new global order was being born.

It explores how statistical methods and practices were developed and utilized during these tumultuous times, highlighting their implications for governance, society, and the shaping of public policy.

"Masterful . . . [A] painstakingly researched, astonishingly erudite study…Tooze has added his name to the roll call of top-class scholars of Nazism." —Financial Times An extraordinary mythology has grown up around the Third Reich that hovers over political and moral debate even today. Adam Tooze's controversial book challenges the conventional economic interpretations of that period to explore how Hitler's surprisingly prescient vision--ultimately hindered by Germany's limited resources and his own racial ideology--was to create a German super-state to dominate Europe and compete with what he saw as America's overwhelming power in a soon-to- be globalized world. The Wages of Destruction is a chilling work of originality and tremendous scholarship that set off debate in Germany and will fundamentally change the way in which history views the Second World War.
