拥有20多年工作经历的职业投资经理人。曾任世界银行投行部主管，现任Rock Creek Group 和Rohatyn Group等对冲基金的投资顾问，也是美国阿斯彭保险公司董事和布鲁金斯学会理事。

With a keen sense of history and compelling narrative skills, Liaquat Ahamed gives us a vivid and dramatic account of four men whose actions led to the world economic collapse of the late 1920s.

Many of us presume that the Great Depression resulted from a confluence of inexorable forces beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as economist Liaquat Ahamed explains, it was decisions taken by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown.

Meet the neurotic and enigmatic Montagu Norman of the Bank of England; the xenophobic and suspicious Emile Moreau of the Banque de France; the arrogant yet brilliant Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank; and the dynamic Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. These men were as prominent then as Alan Greenspan and Hank Paulson are in our time.

Lords of Finance brings a fresh perspective on the origins of financial crises and an arresting reminder that its individuals who lie at the heart of global catastrophe.--From the Hardcover edition.

本书讲述了次世界大战后这些中央银行家们重建国际金融体系的故事。20 世纪20 年代中期，他们似乎成功了：国际外汇市场稳定，资金流动自由，经济增长得以恢复。但繁荣的背后也出现了隐患，被公认为金融体系稳定基石的金本位制度约束了经济的发展。本书的后几章描述了中央银行家们在应对大萧条时那些无序和徒劳的努力。本书角度独特，不仅如一部优美的传记，情节引人入胜；又如一部有独特视角的经济金融史。
