Adam Tooze

Prospect Magazine has hailed Columbia University's Adam Tooze as one of "The World's Top 50 Thinkers 2019". Adam Tooze is the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History & the Director of the European Institute - Most recently, he is the author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World.

The magazine says of Adam Tooze:

As a historian of the 20th century, Tooze soars and dives: one page a forensic low-down on the structure of war debts, the next a broad look at the world order. Now he has taken the same tack with the 21st-century global financial crisis. Crashed exposes the financial system’s hidden wiring, and the inadequacy of nation-based macroeconomics in a world of border-straddling banks. The prevention and cure of future crises require a new international “macro-financial” perspective. He also puts his Twitter addiction to public service, with a stream of enlightening charts on currencies and green energy transitions.
