Description

The year 2020 changed everything, and Adam Tooze's Shutdown is a masterful account of its impact on the world economy. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruption, with 95% of the world's economies suffering simultaneously and hundreds of millions losing their jobs. Tooze, author of the acclaimed Crashed, brings his analytical and narrative skills to a panoramic overview of the crisis, setting it against the backdrop of finance and business. By focusing on the economic and financial aspects, Tooze sheds new light on how unprepared the world was to fight the pandemic, and the deep ruptures in our way of living and doing business. He explores how social organization, political interests, and economic policy interact with devastating human consequences, from local hospitals to the World Bank. This is a sobering and insightful look at the crisis, and its impact on our global economy.
