Book Description
"This book started out as a biography of the dollar, not of a man. It was intended to be an international version of the story I had told in The New Lombard Street: How the Fed Became the Dealer of Last Resort (2011). That book was a biography of the Fed, as seen through the analytical lens of the "money view," an approach to monetary theory that I had been developing in the classroom for the previous decade. The new project was supposed to extend the money view to a theory of foreign exchange and the international monetary system and in doing so would enable the story of the emerging market-based credit system to encompass the story of financial globalization and the spreading dollar system. As in the previous book, I planned a story of institutional development as context for a story of economic thought development, this time international rather than domestic. Fortunately for me, my plan attracted support from the initial grant round of the fledgling Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), which I gratefully acknowledge. But already in the first year the project began to change shape, and I decided not to request renewal"--

The Oxford Handbook of European History, 1914-1945
Author: Nicholas Doumanis
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191017752
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
The period spanning the two World Wars was unquestionably the most catastrophic in Europe's history. Despite such undeniably progressive developments as the radical expansion of women's suffrage and rising health standards, the era was dominated by political violence and chronic instability. Its symbols were Verdun, Guernica, and Auschwitz. By the end of this dark period, tens of millions of Europeans had been killed and more still had been displaced and permanently traumatized. If the nineteenth century gave Europeans cause to regard the future with a sense of optimism, the early twentieth century had them anticipating the destruction of civilization. The fact that so many revolutions, regime changes, dictatorships, mass killings, and civil wars took place within such a compressed time frame suggests that Europe experienced a general crisis. The Oxford Handbook of European History, 1914-1945 reconsiders the most significant features of this calamitous age from a transnational perspective. It demonstrates the degree to which national experiences were intertwined with those of other nations, and how each crisis was implicated in wider regional, continental, and global developments. Readers will find innovative and stimulating chapters on various political, social, and economic subjects by some of the leading scholars working on modern European history today.
