520    "Deftly weaving finance, politics, business, and the 
       global human experience into one tight narrative, a tour-
       de-force account of 2020, the year that changed everything
       --from the acclaimed author of Crashed. The shocks of 2020
       have been great and small, disrupting the world economy, 
       international relations and the daily lives of virtually 
       everyone on the planet. Never before has the entire world 
       economy contracted by 20 percent in a matter of weeks nor 
       in the historic record of modern capitalism has there been
       a moment in which 95 percent of the world's economies were
       suffering all at the same time. Across the world hundreds 
       of millions have lost their jobs. And over it all looms 
       the specter of pandemic, and death. Adam Tooze, whose last
       book was universally lauded for guiding us coherently 
       through the chaos of the 2008 crash, now brings his 
       bravura analytical and narrative skills to a panoramic and
       synthetic overview of our current crisis. By focusing on 
       finance and business, he sets the pandemic story in a 
       frame that casts a sobering new light on how unprepared 
       the world was to fight the crisis, and how deep the 
       ruptures in our way of living and doing business are. The 
       virus has attacked the economy with as much ferocity as it
       has our health, and there is no vaccine arriving to 
       address that. Tooze's special gift is to show how social 
       organization, political interests, and economic policy 
       interact with devastating human consequences, from your 
       local hospital to the World Bank. He moves fluidly from 
       the impact of currency fluctuations to the decimation of 
       institutions--such as health-care systems, schools, and 
       social services--in the name of efficiency. He starkly 
       analyzes what happened when the pandemic collided with 
       domestic politics (China's party conferences; the American
       elections), what the unintended consequences of the 
       vaccine race might be, and the role climate change played 
       in the pandemic. Finally, he proves how no unilateral 
       declaration of 
520    'independence" or isolation can extricate any modern 
       country from the global web of travel, goods, services, 
       and finance"--|cProvided by publisher.
