Financial Turmoil in Europe and the United States: Essays

歐元崩潰將引發全球金融危機！

　　國際知名投資大師索羅斯藉由本書即時回應金融不穩定的擴散與衝擊。他勾勒出從美國房貸危機到希臘雅典暴動的歷程，經常提出美國與歐洲政府不會選擇的另一種解決方案。他是率先評估金融動盪規模的人士之一，身為多年的基金經理人與歐洲整合的支持者，索羅斯的分析切實而具有說服力。

　　本書收錄從2008年崩盤後所寫的文章，處理美國要重新改造銀行與金融體系的迫切需求。索羅斯預期危機的全球化，尤其是歐債危機衍生出的歐元危機更是如此，他呼籲國際間聯合採取行動，解決這場全球金融大風暴。

索羅斯還指出：

　　．歐元風暴不僅是個主權債務危機，也是貨幣和銀行危機。德國是歐盟最大和評等最佳的經濟體，須對這些危機負起大部分責任，領導歐盟解決問題。

　　．中國能以人民幣升值來提供誘因，因此能引發國際合作的進程。中國必須協助解決全球貨幣危機。

　　．提出「真正的歐洲人現在需要B計畫」、「解決歐元區危機的三部曲」、「如何阻止第二次大蕭條」、「七項要點計畫以拯救歐元區」等建議。

　　Financial Turmoil in Europe and the United States shows George Soros responding in real time to a rippling earthquake of financial instability. In this collection of essays written since the aftermath of the Crash of 2008, he addresses the urgent need for the U.S. to restructure its banking and financial system. He anticipates the globalization of the crisis and, in particular, its perilous second phase in Europe; and finally he calls for concerted international action.

　　While charting the journey from the American mortgage crisis to riots in Athens, Soros often reveals an alternate course to that chosen by the U.S. and European governments. Soros was among the first to appreciate the scale of the disruption, and that “these are not normal times.” His analysis is cogent, informed by years as a fund manager and supporter of European integration. His concern for the eurozone’s future is palpable, as the markets test Europe’s banks and political processes to the brink of destruction, to a degree never before seen—or foreseen—since the creation of the European Community.
