Gordon Brown Book About Fiscal Crisis Coming in November

Posted on August 3, 2010

Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is publishing a book about the global economic crisis. The book will be published by Simon & Schuster's Free Press imprint in November 2010. Gordon Brown's book promises to offer insight into the events that led to the fiscal downward spiral and the reactions of world leaders as they took steps to avoid further disaster. The book will also offer measures Brown believes the world should adopt to regain fiscal stability.

Gordon Brown says, "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 globalization can be managed so that the economy works for people and not the other way around."
