Author

Liaquat Ahamed

The book examines the roles of central bankers Benjamin Strong Jr., Montagu Norman, Émile Moreau, and Hjalmar Schacht in the lead-up to the Great Depression.

It highlights their adherence to the gold standard and the consequences of their decisions, which significantly contributed to the economic catastrophe.

The narrative also draws parallels between past and present economic challenges and emphasizes the importance of flexible monetary policies, as advocated by John Maynard Keynes.
