Produktbeschreibung

One striking weaknesses of our financial architecture, which helped bring on and perhaps deepen the Panic of 2008, is an inadequate appreciation of the past. This book is an attempt to broaden the range of historical examples used by policy makers to understand and treat financial crises.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Business History.
