Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World by Liaquat Ahamed
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read this in part to understand the background of the world of economics in practice in the eras between the wars. You get that, but written in a kind of People magazine way. I mostly remember the behind-the-scenes personality descriptions of the wealthy decision-makers/bankers in Europe and the US, as well as the behind-the-scenes strategery. Interesting if that’s what you were looking for.
