Fault lines how hidden fractures still threaten the world economy

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Rajan shows how the individual choices that collectively brought about the economic meltdown, made by bankers, government officials, and ordinary homeowners, were rational responses to a flawed global financial order in which the incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening fault lines in a world overly dependent on the indebted American consumer to power global economic growth and stave off global downturns. He exposes a system where America's growing inequality and thin social safety net create tremendous political pressure to encourage easy credit and keep job creation robust, no matter what the consequences to the economy's long-term health; and where the U.S. financial sector, with its skewed incentives, is the critical but unstable link between an overstimulated America and an underconsuming world.

  • "Raghuram Rajan è stato uno dei pochi economisti al mondo ad avvertire la comunità internazionale della crisi imminente prima che si manifestasse, in un momento anzi in cui il paradigma dominante era al suo culmine. In "Terremoti finanziari" egli mostra come le decisioni individuali che nel complesso hanno causato la crisi finanziaria - decisioni prese dai banchieri, dai governi e dai semplici proprietari di case - erano risposte in sé razionali ma all'interno di un ordine finanziario globale scorretto. Un sistema cioè in cui gli incentivi al rischio erano incredibilmente fuori misura rispetto ai pericoli che tale rischio poneva. Rajan dimostra inoltre come l'accesso disuguale sia all'educazione sia alla tutela della salute negli Stati Uniti ponga noi tutti in grave pericolo; lo stesso si può dire anche per le scelte economiche di Paesi come la Germania, il Giappone e la Cina, che gravano l'America di un fardello non dovuto. A conclusione del libro Rajan delinea le scelte radicali che dobbiamo assolutamente compiere se vogliamo assicurare un'economia globale più stabile al fine di ricreare una prosperità duratura. (dalla prefazione di Franco Debenedetti)."
  • "Economist Raghuram Rajan warned about the global financial crisis long before it hit, but few listened. Now, as the world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame the crisis on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In "Fault Lines", Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are also to blame, and warns that a potentially more devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed. Can we risk not listening to him a second time? Rajan shows how the individual choices that collectively brought about the economic meltdown - made by bankers, government officials, and ordinary homeowners - were rational responses to a flawed global financial order in which the incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening fault lines in a system overly dependent on American consumption to power the world economy and stave off a global downturn; a system where America's thin social safety net has created tremendous political pressure to keep job creation robust, because jobs are the primary provider of health and other benefits; and, where the U.S. financial sector, with its skewed incentives, is the critical but unstable link between an overstimulated America and an underconsuming world. Rajan demonstrates how inequalities in U.S. incomes, education, and health care are putting all of us into deeper financial peril, and he outlines sensible reforms to ensure a more stable world economy and to restore lasting prosperity."
