Between Debt and the Devil: Money, Credit, and Fixing Global FinanceTheir words
The book is a simple statement of that fundamental point. It's a very good statement of that case and had a lot of influence on my book, The Shifts and the Shocks.

So I like this book. I like the image of a narrow corridor as a way of thinking about how difficult the task of maintaining what many people in the contemporary world would think of as a civilized order is.

It's a history of the last 150 years. There is lots in it that I absolutely love. It's very American. It's not American-focused, but it's a book an American would write. That's really important because America has made the world we live in. People in Europe and Britain don't want to accept that, but that's the reality. I mean that in every respect: culturally, economically, technologically, and so forth. The Industrial Revolution in Britain was incredibly important but since the late 19th century, everything has been dominated by America.
