"A magisterial work...You can't help thinking about the economic crisis we're living through now." --The New York Times Book Review

It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of that economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades. 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.

Awesome Anniversary Gift
I got this for my husband for our 25th silver anniversary because it is partly silver. I think it is a beautiful watch especially for the price. I think he can wear it for everyday at work and not worry about breaking it or losing it and still look classy.

Nice watch
Color: blue watch for men
It’s a very nice watch. I usually wear a cheap watch and I don’t care if it gets scratched it also has the day and the time and the stopwatch feature but this watch is really beautiful and it looks very nice. The one thing I would recommend is that when you’re setting the watch, there are two ways to set the watch one is to pull the button out very slightly and that will set the day and the time the other is to pull the watch button out to two clicks, and that will set the actual hands. But I’d like my watch. It’s the nicest watch I’ve ever owned.
