Description

Adam Tooze is professor of history and director of the European Institute at Columbia University. A specialist in twentieth-century German economic history, he was at the Academy on March 13, 2018, to deliver this semester’s Marcus Bierich Lecture, “The 2008 Global Crisis: Approaches to a Future History.” This is also the subject of his forthcoming book, Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World (Viking, August 2018).
We sat down with him for a discussion of what was really going on during the 2008 financial crisis, the state of the German economy today, and why tariffs are an insufficient response to the economic reality of the 21st century.
