Clearly titled, global financial crises and gluts are not primarily due to rational investor pursuit of productive capacity but excesses of central bank liquidity, capital mobility, and savings by elites (that is, depressing wages and consumption domestically), and trade imbalances are pulled by foreign demand for investment/assets inexorably. Convincing data and histories, though the writing often jumps to details before giving the point.
