Gordon Brown's book offers insight into the events that led to the fiscal downward spiral and the reactions of world leaders as they took steps to avoid further disaster. The book also offers measures Brown believes the world should adopt to regain fiscal stability. Long admired for his grasp of economic issues, Brown's book is a work of paramount interest during these uncertain financial times and attracted intense media coverage. The book offers a unique perspective on the financial crisis as well as innovative ideas that will help create a sound economic future and will help readers understand what really has happened to our economy. Mr Brown has this to say: 'We now live in a world of global trade, global financial flows, global movements of people and instant global communications. Our economies are connected as never before, and I believe that global economic problems require global solutions and global institutions. In writing my analysis of the financial crisis, I wanted to help explain how we got here, but more importantly to offer some recommendations as to how the next stage of globalisation can be managed so that the economy works for people and not the other way around'

It's very difficult to give a balanced review of this book depending on your political preference but many people from all walks of life have now admitted that Gordon Brown was the right man who guided the major economies of the world from catastrophe. This book is an honest account on how the banking crisis developed, why many banks forgot about their principal role and concentrated more on the bonus structure and leave common scene behind. Gordon Brown explains very clearly how he, the people in his team and the governments from across the globe came together and avert a depression far larger than the 1930's. The problem hasn't been sorted and as it states in the book it will take a long time to get back to normal. Gordon Brown has also explained the politics required to bring many countries together with their own agenda but manage to agree on a strategy that creates confidence in the global markets. The book covers the weaknesses of the banking sector; some banks which did not need direct help and others who ignored the basic principal of lending and investment. How one country is not immune to the global economy and how Gordon Brown believes that International regulation is needed to stop the affect another crisis could bring. This book is well written with very good background notes, explanations of terminology and provides an insight on what happened when the banks collapsed. Whether you are a supporter of Gordon Brown or not this is a very important account about the banking crisis.

If you believe a word this montebank writes then I pity you. The damage this man has done to the British economy will take a century to repair. By 2002 it was obvious something was seriously wrong with the Britsh economy and thsi fellow merely let it rip instead of closing down the fly by night credit availability. After Ken Clarke this chancellor truly brought an Abbey to a grange. As for his fellow Scots in HBOS and RBS the less said the better. Gordon Brown should be thoroughly ashamed of himself for being such a dope. When it came to selling off part of the UK's gold - a lesson in how not to sell a commodity. When it came to the second Iraq war how dare he send our soldiers ill equppied to the battle zone? Finally he left his place men in quangoes throughout the UK economy - not to protect the UK but to insinuate the worst possible management.
