德国经济学家黑塞团队多角度、多层次解构1929-1939年大萧条，告诉你世界运行的本质

This is a historical work that dissects the economic crisis that swept the Western world from the 1920s to the 1930s.

Modern economic research has long focused on the economic crises of the early twentieth century, striving to understand them thoroughly in order to prevent humanity from repeating past mistakes. Scholars have developed numerous theories around this topic-debating, for instance, whether the actions of German and American leaders exacerbated the crisis, whether Western governments encouraged extremism during the turmoil, how we should conceptualize new economic crises, and what constitutes the "right" course of action in the face of the financial crises unfolding today.

The three authors address these questions in this book, offering a detailed exploration of the causes and mechanisms of the economic crisis, assessing government strategies, and summarizing approaches to crisis resolution. Through this work, readers today will gain a deeper understanding of economic crises.

这是一部剖析20世纪20年代至30年代西方世界经济危机的历史著作。

现今的经济学研究一直将焦点放在20世纪初期的经济危机，试图将它研究透彻以避免人类重蹈覆辙。围绕这个话题，学者们推出了很多理论，比如这次经济危机是否因为德国、美国领导人的行为加剧；西方各国政府在危机中是否鼓励了极端主义；人类应该怎样认识新的经济危机；在当今正在发生的金融危机中，应该采取怎样"正确"的行动？

对于这些问题，三位作者在书中作了回答，同时细致地阐述了经济危机发生的原因、机制；评论了政府的策略；总结了解决危机的策略，让现今的读者在阅读本书后能对经济危机产生更深层的认识。
