ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of the most important economic experts on the international scene dissects the impact that the coronavirus has had on the capitalist system.

The appearance of an unknown virus in China in December 2019 received brief and confusing headlines, as no one could foresee its subsequent conversion into a global pandemic. In a matter of weeks, the world economy came to an abrupt halt: planes remained grounded, supply chains broke down, and entire sectors such as tourism reduced their activity to zero. Not even the financial markets, so averse to risk, could be preserved from an economic collapse that caused the fastest and strongest market decline since 1929.

Overnight, our world changed and 2020 became a year of inflection. The great chronicler of the past financial crisis, economist Adam Tooze, presents the most informed analysis of the history of this shutdown and where we are headed. Thanks to his privileged access to data, key players, and institutions, he compellingly and sometimes shockingly recounts how this challenge has impacted both major global economic centers and emerging markets. While we cling to the technological and knowledge miracle in the form of a vaccine, the coronavirus crisis has highlighted our fragility.
