Paper Promises: Money, Debt and the New World Order
Autor Philip Cogganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2012
Longlisted for the Financial Times Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award
In today's financial climate, we are all, naturally, obsessed by debt. In almost every aspect of our life we experience it - on our credit cards, mortgages, bank loans and student loans. But where has this debt come from? How does it work? What is any money really worth? And what promises do we need to believe to keep the whole system afloat?
In this fascinating look at money through the ages - including our own unstable future - award-winning financial journalist Philip Coggan examines the flawed structure of the global finance systems as they exist today, and asks, with deeper imbalances that the world is currently facing, what's actually at stake.

Recenzii
Bold
and
confident
...
Coggan
covers
the
terrain
with
characteristic
calmness
and
objectivity,
avoids
over-simplification,
and
laces
his
arguments
with
his
trademark
erudition
...
The
alphabet
soup
of
acronyms,
from
SIVs
to
CDO
Squareds,
is
blissfully
lacking
...
Finally,
the
book
is
free
from
the
shrieking
ideology
that
afflicts
virtually
all
contemporary
debates
over
money.
Indeed,
it
offers
a
clear
explanation
of
the
fresh
ideological
divisions
that
have
arisen
over
how
to
deal
with
the
crisis
...
the
book
should
be
taken
very
seriously
This book stands way above anything written on the present economic crisis
The most illuminating account of the financial crisis to appear to date ... [written] with a lucidity that enables him to convey deep insights without a trace of jargon ... [a] thought-stirring book
A remarkable book from one of the most respected economics journalists on the planet. Every page brings a fresh insight or a new surprise. A delight
Fascinating and authoritative, with the rigour and depth to satisfy an economist and the accessibility and pace to engage the layperson ... If everyone read Coggan's book we might just be a little more circumspect if and when the next burst of irrational exuberance overtakes the economy
A masterful history of financial crises
By far the best analysis of the "new normal"
An excellent book ... a smart and witty analysis of the current economic storm, set in the context of the history of money
Coggan is ... an exceptional banking and economic historian
Coggan traces 'history's tug of war between monetary shortage and excess' in this engaging and timely book about the current financial crisis.... Thoughtful and thorough
Intriguing
Coggan ... deserves his Best Communicator award: he moves the story along at a fast and flowing pace, combined with the ability to find the short phrase that summarizes in simple language the kernel of many complex economic ideas ... demonstrates a comprehensive awareness of the major academic debates in economics and economic history ... deserves to be one of the three books you read from the vast literature spawned by the recent crisis
A very good and sensible introduction to the history of the recent economic crisis, with an emphasis on debt and also historical perspective
