Moreover, because politicians overpromised, and because their measures failed to stave off a major recession, a backlash quickly developed against activist governments and central banks. Since bank failures were a prominent feature of the Great Depression, policymakers moved quickly to strengthen troubled banks. Having done too little to support spending in the 1930s, governments also ramped up public spending this time around. When markets went into cardiac arrest in 2008, policymakers invoked the lessons of the Great Depression in attempting to avert the worst. Both occurred against the backdrop of sharp credit booms, dubious banking practices, and a fragile and unstable global financial system. and Europe still rose to excruciating high levels. The question, given this, is why didn't policymakers do better?

But it is really a present tense book, for the resolution of the 2008 crisis is not done, just postponed. That is the implicit point in Hall of Mirrors, which shows with analytical force and elegant prose that the financial systems of the U.S. Barry Eichengreen's Hall of Mirrors is packed with the essential insights that give the reader understanding of the macro policy mistakes of the 1930s and the 2000s, both why they occurred and how devastatingHis previous books include Exorbitant Privilege: The Rise and Fall of the Dollar and the Future of the International Monetary System and Golden Fetters: The Gold Standard and the GreatDepression, 1919-1939.
