作者简介

2008 saw one of the worst financial crises in generations, the global implications of which are still being felt today. Ten years later Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner and Hank Paulson reflect on the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression.
All three had crucial roles in the government's response- Ben S. Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve; Henry M. Paulson, Jr., as secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush; Timothy F. Geithner as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York during the Bush years and then Treasury secretary under President Barack Obama. A powerful, warts and all account told with unprecedented clarity; from the flawed human response to the necessity to learn from the past and help firefighters of the future protect economies from the ravages of financial crises.
Firefighting is a vital account of a defining moment in modern history and an inspiring lesson on leadership through crisis.

内容简介

From the three primary architects of the American policy response to the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression, a magnificent big-picture synthesis--from why it happened to where we are now.

In 2018, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Hank Paulson came together to reflect on the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis ten years on. Recognizing that, as Ben put it, "the enemy is forgetting," they examine the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression. And they provide to their successors in the United States and the finance ministers and central bank governors of other countries a valuable playbook for reducing the damage from future financial crises. Firefighting provides a candid and powerful account of the choices they and their teams made during the crisis, working under two presidents and with the leaders of Congress.

    这本书内容不多,但是后面关于未来的探讨和一些图很有意思。3位作者对于未来的担心集中在:(1)2008年金融危机之前,基准利率是5%+,而2019年只有2%+,传统货币工具的空间不足;(2)财政赤字在2008年也不用太担心,所以在金融危机发生后的减税效果很好。但是特朗普上台之后就大力减税,如果发生金融危机后仍然减税,一方面面临财政赤字上限的约束,另一方面也面临效果边际递减的局面;(3)2008年金融危机期间,两党的通力合作,而在特朗普上台之后,两党之间分歧严重。如果发生规模跟之前类似的金融危机,能不能让国会迅速赋予美联储和财政部足够的权力来拯救危机,是让人担忧的。 另外,从后面的图表可以看出,2008年的金融危机,其危害主要集中在金融市场,而对实体经济的影响的深度和时间并没有很大07-26
