The first cut on this record has been cross-format focused for Airplay success.

The men beat on their drums. Thank you. I'm going to Go to go

and Hello and welcome to Politics Theory Other.

My name is Alex Dorothy and today I'm joined by Adam Tuse for the second part of our discussion of his new book,

Crashed How a Decade of Financial Crisis Changed the World,

which is out now from Alan Lane.

long term as a weekly show.

So if you are able to make a small monthly donation, it would be much appreciated.

You can donate from as little as $1 a month.

Adam Toots is Professor of History and Director of the European Institute at Columbia University.

His other books include The Wages of Destruction,

The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, which we discussed in episode 14,

and also The Deluge, The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order,

1916 to 1931.
