THE GLOBAL MINOTAUR: AMERICA, EUROPE AND THE FUTURE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Book ID/图书代码： 14782015B77715
English Summary/英文概要： Revised and updated, The Global Minotaur, originally published in 2011 is a provocative book, by one of the most dynamic and reasonable of contemporary economists, takes a long view of the global economy and describes how, after the collapse in the 1970s of the post-war economic order, the world began sending incredible amounts of capital to Wall Street - just as the ancient Athenians paid regular tribute to the mythical Cretan Minotaur. It was this flow of money that became the "engine" that pulled the world economy through to the financial collapse of 2008.
Europe’s crisis today is just one symptom of a global "system" which is now as unsustainable as it is imbalanced. Full of up to the minute commentary on the financial crisis as the unfold, The Global Minotaur is an essential account of the socio-economic events and hidden histories that have shaped the world as we now know it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《全球怪物》最初发表于2011年，经过修订和更新，是一本颇为精彩的著作。其作者是当今最具活力、最具理智的经济学家之一，本书对全球经济进行了长足的探讨，描述了20世纪70年代战后经济秩序崩溃后，世界开始源源不断地向华尔街输送资金——就如同古代雅典人向克里特岛的牛头人怪物奉献贡品一样。正是这种资金流动成为了推动全球经济的“动力”。
欧洲当今的危机仅仅是眼下无法维系的失衡的全球“体系”的一个表象。《全球怪物》是一本有关社会经济事件及背后隐藏的历史的必要著作，这些社会经济事件塑造了我们眼下所熟知的世界。（LYR）
