Author: Ahamed, Liaquat.;
Year published: 2010
Summary: It is commonly believed that the

from a confluence of events beyond any one

Ahamed reveals that it was the decisions
made by a small number of central bankers
that were the primary cause of that economic
meltdown. As yet another period of economic
turmoil makes headlines today, "Lords of
Finance" is a potent reminder of the enormous
impact that the decisions of central bankers
can have, their fallibility, and the terrible
human consequences that can result when
they are wrong.
