THE STORM：THE WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS AND WHAT IT MEANS
Book ID/图书代码： 00970008B27919
English Summary/英文概要： This is the bestseller on the credit crunch. In this brilliant short book, Vince Cable, ’the sage of the credit crunch’ ("Daily Telegraph") explains how we got here and where we’re going.
In "The Storm", Vincent Cable explains the causes of the world economic crisis and how we should respond to the challenges it brings. He shows that although the downturn is global, the complacency of the British government towards the huge ’bubble’ in property prices and high levels of personal debt, combined with increasingly exotic and opaque trading within the financial markets, has left Britain badly exposed. Yet we need to be vigilant in our response to the dangers confronting us. Times of crises inevitably bring forth false prophets who offer easy panaceas and identify scapegoats. However, Cable shows that an insular response to the current crisis would be a disaster and urges us to resist the siren voices that promote isolationism and nationalism as the answer to economic woes. He argues that policy makers must keep their faith in liberal markets if the remarkable advances in living standards, which are now being extended to the world’s poorer countries, are to be maintained. This book is suitable for readers of "The Age of Turbulence" by Alan Greenspan, "The State We’re In" by Will Hutton and "The New Paradigm for Financial Markets" by George Soros.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 知名經濟學者文斯．凱博(Vince Cable)，英國自由民主黨(Liberal Democrat)副黨魁，該黨自2003年以來的財政事務發言人。凱博曾精準預測信貸危機。在北岩銀行陷入困境時發表的見地贏得各界讚揚，使自由民主黨在此次金融危機支持度逆勢上升。
他在此書提出關於全球經濟危機的傑出分析，進一步分析接下來經濟衰退所帶來的後果，以及在危機中所採取的因應之道將會對未來有何影響，以及他建議的解決方式。篇幅雖然不長卻精簡有力。此次危機是全球性，然而比例過高的個人貸款、過高房價、經濟市場的不透明等讓英國深陷風暴之中，成為受創最嚴重的國家之ㄧ，英國的狀況值得各國借鏡。
此次嚴重的經濟危機，並沒有簡單的萬靈丹，若現在政府採取孤立主義或國家主義將會對世界與國家帶來諸多悲慘的後果。政府應該仍應相信自由市場，現在所採取的政策與因應方式將會對未來金融市場與國家發展有重大影響。(VC)
