Slom' 79

Paul Erdman

An economic thriller that follows the global financial crisis caused by instability in the Middle East. The novel is set in 1979, and the main character, Bill Hitchcock, an American banker, is involved in a network of global intrigue and financial specula

Erdman, an economist and former banker, uses his knowledge to create a compelling story about the collapse of the world economy. The plot revolves around the conflict between Western powers and Middle Eastern countries, especially Iran and Saudi Arabia, which control the oil markets.

When Saudi Arabia launches a plan to destabilize Western economies by manipulating oil prices, the world's stock markets begin to collapse. Hitchcock, an adviser to a Swiss bank, tries to predict and mitigate the crisis, but faces corruption, espionage and betrayal. The novel describes in detail the mechanisms of financial markets, banking operations and geopolitical games, making economic themes accessible through a suspenseful story.

Erdman masterfully combines fiction with realistic forecasts, warning of the vulnerability of the global financial system. Although based on fears of the 1970s, such as the oil crises, the novel remains relevant for its insights into greed and power. Critics praise the book for its suspense and educational character, but some consider it too technical. Breakdown '79 is a classic of the genre, exciting and insightful.
