About this ebook
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'
Gordon Brown
Gordon Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer, a role he held for more than a decade, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He is credited with preventing a second Great Depression through his leadership at the 2009 London G20 summit where he mobilised global leaders to walk the world back from the financial brink. Today he is fully engaged in international development work serving as the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, spearheading efforts to deliver a quality and inclusive education for all of the world's children, and as the World Health Organization's Ambassador for Global Health Finance. Brown has a PhD in History from the University of Edinburgh. A Member of Parliament between 1983 and 2015, he lives in Fife, Scotland, and is married to Sarah, and the couple have two teenagers.

Reviews for Beyond the Crash
9 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is quite the most difficult book that I have read all year. I can just about balance the family budget but, when high finance is discussed, I hear the water in my ears as the tide rushes over my head.After a poor start, where I felt that Gordon Brown was playing for his place in history, chiefly by sucking up to everyone (the brilliant Ed balls, the amazing Nicolas Sarkozy, etc.), this book is a path for world economic growth. It reads as an eminently logical system whereby everybody gains. One particular phrase that I really liked was, "the argument that the economy operates according to iron laws and the only role of men and women is to live by what those laws dictate demeans our humanity...." Amen to that.When he stops trying, Brown comes across as a caring man with more that platitudes, the man has a plan - and it is not just for British success, but for World success. I hope that the world is ready: it will be a sad day for everyone if this opportunity is missed.
