商品描述

This book continues the discussion from Volume I on economic, fiscal, and financial crises in world history that have had a great impact on the entire world and the fiscal measures taken by governments to combat each crisis. Such events are often described as black swans, a concept introduced by Economist and Risk Analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb in the book Fooled By Randomness in 2001, in reference to events that were thought to be impossible but had a huge impact when they did happen.

The beginning of this book notes that crises are catastrophic periods when the consequences of economic mistakes made by governments are reflected to the public. Although economic crises are seen as opportunities in some cases, they have created a burden for the people. Some economic crises even triggered the world war. A recent example, Adolf Hitler, was seen as a hope of salvation in Germany due to the Great Depression and was brought to power.

The twentieth century, whentwo great world wars took place on the stage of history, is the witness of major economic crises as well as wars. These crises have caused social and economic paradigm shifts to be experienced much faster and more effectively than the previous centuries. The transformation of the demand-oriented economic understanding created by the Great Depression in 1929 into an interventionist social state understanding, especially after the World War Two, increased the intervention of states in the socioeconomic field. In this period, the reconstruction of the countries, the development of social welfare services, the assurance of human rights, the acceleration of industrialization and development, and the economic growth and income growth of the countries resulted in the golden age enjoyed by the societies of the period.

The interventionist social state, seen as a prescription and opportunity in the past crisis, was one of the cornerstones of the crisis in the last quarter of thecentury in the 1970s. Against interventionism, with the rise of neo-liberalism, financial liberalization, information society, and technological discoveries, globalization has become the new phenomenon of the age. This book examines in detail the causes, occurrences, and results of the twentieth-century crises.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書延續第一卷對世界歷史上經濟、財政和金融危機的討論，這些危機對整個世界產生了重大影響，並且各國政府為應對每次危機所採取的財政策略。這類事件常被形容為黑天鵝，這一概念由經濟學家及風險分析師納西姆·尼可拉斯·塔勒布在2001年的著作《隨機的愚弄》中提出，指的是那些被認為不可能發生但一旦發生卻造成巨大影響的事件。

本書開頭指出，危機是災難性的時期，政府所犯的經濟錯誤的後果向公眾顯現。雖然在某些情況下經濟危機被視為機會，但它們卻給人民帶來了負擔。一些經濟危機甚至引發了世界大戰。最近的例子是，阿道夫·希特勒因大蕭條而被視為德國的救贖希望，並因此掌握了權力。

二十世紀，兩次世界大戰在歷史舞台上發生，是重大經濟危機和戰爭的見證。這些危機使社會和經濟的範式轉變比以往世紀更快、更有效地發生。1929年大蕭條所創造的以需求為導向的經濟理解轉變為干預主義的社會國家理解，尤其是在第二次世界大戰之後，增加了國家在社會經濟領域的干預。在此期間，各國的重建、社會福利服務的發展、人權的保障、工業化和發展的加速，以及國家的經濟增長和收入增長，造就了當時社會所享有的黃金時代。

在過去的危機中被視為處方和機會的干預主義社會國家，成為二十世紀七十年代最後一個四分之一的危機的基石。隨著新自由主義的興起、金融自由化、信息社會和技術發現，全球化成為這個時代的新現象。本書詳細探討了二十世紀危機的原因、發生及其結果。
