"Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, one of the world's most influential economic thinkers and the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of When Markets Collide, has written a roadmap to what lies ahead and the decisions we must make now to stave off the next global economic and financial crisis. Our current economic path is coming to an end. The signposts are all around us: sluggish growth, rising inequality, stubbornly high pockets of unemployment, and jittery financial markets, to name a few. Soon we will reach a fork in the road: One path leads to renewed growth, prosperity, and financial stability, the other to recession and market disorder. In The Only Game in Town, El-Erian casts his gaze toward the future of the global economy and markets, outlining the choices we face both individually and collectively in an era of economic uncertainty and financial insecurity. Beginning with their response to the 2008 global crisis, El-Erian explains how and why our central banks became the critical policy actors--and, most important, why they cannot continue is this role alone. They saved the financial system from collapse in 2008 and a multiyear economic depression, but lack the tools to enable a return to high inclusive growth and durable financial stability. The time has come for a policy handoff, from a prolonged period of monetary policy experimentation to a strategy that better targets what ails economies and distorts the financial sector--before we stumble into another crisis. The future, critically, is not predestined. It is up to us to decide where we will go from here as households, investors, companies, and governments. Using a mix of insights from economics, finance, and behavioral science, this book gives us the tools we need to properly understand this turning point, prepare for it, and come out of it stronger. A comprehensive, controversial look at the realities of our global economy and markets, The Only Game in Town is required reading for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future. Advance praise for The Only Game in Town "Mohamed El-Erian has had an extraordinary career as an investment analyst, investor, and market commentator. His 'new normal' concept was prescient, provocative, and has proven out. Agree or disagree, his go-forward thoughts contained in this bracing book are well worth considering."--Lawrence H. Summers, former secretary of the U.S. Treasury "Achieves the nearly impossible: It takes complex f ...

Gerade einmal 10 Jahre ist es her, dass Zentralbanker kaum etwas falsch machen konnten. Die grossen Krisen galten als überwunden - Zentralbankchef Ben Bernanke sprach 2004 gar über das Ende der grossen Wirtschaftskrisen. Gerade einmal vier Jahre später stürzte die Weltwirtschaft in die mit Abstand schwerste Krise seit Jahrzehnten. Seitdem agieren die grossen Zentralbanken im permanenten Rettungsmodus. Die Märkte ertrinken in Ozeanen aus Liquidität und doch gibt es keine historischen oder bewährten Modelle, die in dieser Ausnahmesituation helfen könnten. Noch dazu zeigen sich immer stärker Erschöpfungserscheinungen. Wer darauf achtet, dem werden die Anzeichen kaum entgehen. Wahrscheinlich ist, dass der Weg, auf dem sich die Weltwirtschaft derzeit befindet, bald enden dürfte - vielleicht sogar recht plötzlich.(Verlagstext)

Addresses the ineffectiveness of postcrisis responses by both the private and public sectors in industrial countries where expectations involve an unusually broad range of potential outcomes and equally unusually high risks. Argues that this change is insufficiently recognized, that multiple visible structural changes on the ground are not being sufficiently acknowledged as an ongoing paradigm shift, which hinders the formulation of appropriate responses.--Introduction
