SuitabookThe race to fix the global economy
Sarah Levete
- Reading
- Read it as an introductory explanation: pause after sections on interdependence, banking and crises, and ask the reader to connect each system to its possible benefits and risks.
- Themes
- Financial interdependence: The book explains how national economies have become more interdependent and how banking helps money flow across borders. It appears to present interdependence as a system with both potential and perils, rather than establishing a wholly positive or negative judgement.
- Global financial crises: The book explains that economic interdependence can lead to global financial crises. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The book could prompt discussion about the benefits and dangers of countries becoming financially interconnected, while recognising that the balance between those effects is not fully described.
