Synopsis

The Great Depression and the Great Recession are the two great economic crises of the past hundred years. In Hall of Mirrors, Barry Eichengreen draws on his unparalleled expertise for a brilliantly conceived dual-track account of the two crises and their consequences. He describes how the "lessons" of the Great Depression importantly shaped the policy response to the recent crisis, for both better and worse, but also how the recent crisis will re-shape our understanding of the Depression.
