HISTORY: “Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World,” by Liaquat Ahamed

His book, begun in 2004 and the first he has written, is, the award citation says, “a compelling account” of how four powerful central bankers “played crucial roles in triggering the Great Depression” with mistaken policies.
