The End of Alchemy: Money, Banking and the Future of the Global Economy ペーパーバック – 2017/3/9
購入オプションとあわせ買い
'A fearless and important book . . . The End of Alchemy isn't just an elegant guide to the history of economic ideas. It also gives a genuine insider's account' Telegraph
The past twenty years saw unprecedented growth and stability followed by the worst financial crisis the industrialised world has ever witnessed. In the space of little more than a year what had been seen as the age of wisdom was viewed as the age of foolishness. Almost overnight, belief turned into incredulity.
Most accounts of the recent crisis focus on the symptoms and not the underlying causes of what went wrong. But those events, vivid though they remain in our memories, comprised only the latest in a long series of financial crises since our present system of commerce became the cornerstone of modern capitalism. Alchemy explains why, ultimately, this was and remains a crisis not of banking - even if we need to reform the banking system - nor of policy-making - even if mistakes were made - but of ideas.
In this refreshing and vitally important book, former governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King - an actor in this drama - proposes revolutionary new concepts to answer the central question: are money and banking a form of Alchemy or are they the Achilles heel of a modern capitalist economy?

レビュー
An outstandingly lucid account of postwar economic policymaking and the dilemmas we now face. [King] is a master of the well-turned phrase, the apposite quote and the pungent boutade. It is rare to encounter a book on economics quite as intellectually exhilarating as The End of Alchemy - a dazzling performance indeed ― Financial Times
Mervyn King may well have written the most important book to come out of the financial crisis. From his extraordinary perspective as a brilliant economist who made policy at the highest level, he issues a clarion call for new ideas and new policies, and then delivers. Agree or disagree, King's arguments deserve the attention of everyone from economics students to heads of state -- Lawrence H. Summers
Drawing on years of scholarly study of banking history and his real world experience in fighting financial panic, Mervyn King has set out a new framework for monetary and financial reform. Seemingly simple in concept, it challenges prevailing banking and market practice. The End of Alchemy demands debate and a well-reasoned response -- Paul A. Volcker
Mervyn King asks, "Why has almost every industrialised country found it difficult to overcome the stagnation that followed the financial crisis in 2007-2008, and why did money and banking, the alchemists of a market economy, turn into its Achilles heel?" He addresses these questions, and much more. For those endeavouring to understand the greatest financial crisis of our time and the future of finance, this highly provocative book is a must read -- Alan Greenspan
A sophisticated and highly approachable study of how modern finance has lost its way. Few individuals are more qualified than Lord Mervyn King to imagine the banking of the future. His book should be required reading -- Henry Kissinger
The likes of Larry Summers, Paul Krugman, Robert Gordon, John Kay, Richard Koo and Adair Turner all need to read this book because King has something bracing to say about each of their big arguments . . . The depth of King's thinking is impressive, and he makes a powerful case for putting "radical uncertainty" at the heart of any formal attempt to model economies . . . an exceptionally thought-provoking book - and might even become a modern landmark once its many fresh ideas have percolated ― Independent
This book is by turns invigorating, terrifying and occasionally even inspiring. Its analysis is stark, its conclusions bold -- Ed Conway ― The Times
An exceptionally thought-provoking book and might even become a modern landmark once its many fresh ideas have percolated -- Ben Chu ― Independent
Wide ranging, historically informed and elegantly written . . . Like Keynes he is well aware that economics is in the end about people . . . Life is an art, not a science, and this richly rewarding treatise confirms that truth -- David Kynaston ― Guardian
This book might just save the world -- Michael Lewis ― Bloomberg
A fearless and important book . . . The End of Alchemy isn't just an elegant guide to the history of economic ideas. It also gives a genuine insider's account ― Telegraph
Fearlessly honest . . . will be read for decades to come ― Telegraph

よくある舞台裏の話では無く、より本質的にお金と銀行システムについて歴史的背景も踏まえた上で解説している。
本書のタイトルにもある通り銀行は短期の預金を長期のリスクの有る融資に転換する錬金術に従事して来た。
ところが融資をデリバティブや派生商品に広げる中でリスクの不確定性が増し、手元流動性が不足し危機になった際の取付騒ぎになるのは当然の帰結だと言う。よってリスクをとる場合には自己資金からということになる。
今年になっての英国のユーロ離脱についても本書を読むとその理由、そのインパクトが分かる。

Lo recomiendo claramente, no solo para conocer la historia de lo que aconteció en la crisis financiera por un actor de primera fila con una sólida preparación técnica, sino para recrearse en revisitar los fundamentos de la política monetaria por un experto dotado de la magia de la amenidad y la sencillez de la explicación los grandes maestros.
Muy recomendable.
With that said, it should be noted that the book is heavily weighted in discussing some of the fundamentals of the economics of money/banking. After the first chapter that lays out the main argument of the book, the next six chapters are terrific explanations of how everything has worked in the past, works now and the faults lying in all of it. The final two chapters are really where King develops further his recommendations for how to fix the issues in our current system, especially in terms of the "disequilibrium" he emphasizes throughout the book (by the way, this is a really important concept in all the later arguments so be sure to watch for it and understand it!)
I enjoyed the succinct discussion of the future for ideas such as returning to a gold standard or the move to digital currencies like Bitcoin. Personally I was a huge fan of gold and an opponent of the "alchemy" of fiat money creation until I was schooled by King to understanding the economic difficulties with gold's use as a backing to our money in today's global marketplace. It was the plethora of notes and the extensive bibliography that helped me see the advantage of his well-researched argument versus the uninformed opinions I had brought to my reading of this text.
Please ignore some of the really negative reviews for this book. Realize that getting a book that's researched and plainly written by a major figure in economics is truly exceptional compared to the popular junk that just promotes fear-mongering by deriding the concepts of central banking and worrying everyone about the future economic Armageddon that is apparently inevitable. Notice who the reviews on the back cover are written by - quality, heavy-hitters in the world of economics; this is a great book to learn a lot.
Unlike Greenspan, who relied on dogma and mystification to hide the vulnerability of the Wall Street Banks, King goes to great lengths to explain how banking works in plain language. He steers away from blaming the bad guys and explains the structural weakness of the banking system, which shed a lot of light on other issues, such as the Greek crisis and "Brexit".
He also has some very sensible proposals to stabilize the system.
Der Autor begnügt sich in seinem Buch nicht damit, episodische Memoiren zu schreiben, sondern geht zum Kern der Sache. Ausgangspunkt sind für ihr die "deprimierende Regelmässigkeit von Krisen in unserem Geld- und Bankensystem". Er führt diese nicht in erster Linie auf Fehlentscheide von Entscheidungsträgern oder persönliche Gier von Bankern zurück, sondern auf Systemfehler und das Versagen von Ideen, die dem System zugrunde liegen. Es folgen in neun Kapiteln grundsätzliche Betrachtungen des erfahrenen Bankers über das historische und aktuelle Finanzgeschehen und eine ganze Batterie von zum Teil radikalen Reformvorschlägen wie etwa die Aufteilung der Grossbanken in einen Kernbereich für die Alltagsgeschäfte und einen erweiterten Bereich für die spekulativen Belange.
Das Buch, welches King seinen vier Grosskindern gewidmet hat, ist von der Hoffnung getragen, dass ihre Generation es schaffen wird, anders über Makroökonomie zu denken und unser Geld- und Bankensystem so zu gestalten, dass eine erneute und noch viel schlimmere Finanzkrise vermieden wird. Das Buch überquillt denn auch an unbequemen Denkansätzen und Reformvorschlägen, die nur eines zum Ziel haben: Wachstum zu ermöglichen und die Stabilität des Finanzsystems zu sichern. Es ist in einem lebendigen Alltagsenglisch (praktisch ohne Fachjargon) geschrieben und auch für Nichtfachleute über weite Strecken leicht und spannend zu lesen.
