Description
Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises is a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of financial crises throughout history. This eighth edition, co-authored by Robert McCauley and Robert Aliber, builds on the renowned work of Charles Kindleberger, with McCauley bringing his expertise in central banking to provide new insights on cryptocurrency and the global financial landscape.
The book offers a panoramic view of financial crises, including the recent property bubble in China, the US housing bubble of 2003-2006, and the Japanese bubble of the late 1980s. McCauley also explores the social psychology behind investing in asset price bubbles and Ponzi schemes, providing a nuanced understanding of the human factors that contribute to financial instability.
With its updated coverage and new perspectives, this revised edition provides a valuable resource for finance and economic researchers, students, practitioners, and policy-makers, as well as investors looking to understand and avoid future financial crises.
