It furthers the University’s objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. Interesting book, I would have been able to appreciate it more if I had a better grounding in economic and monetary theory. In particular, if people or banks had been borrowing against the now-worthless asset, the individual or bank will now be under water. Thanks for telling us about maniad problem.

Don’t have an account? This book is not easy to read, but it is a great crasshes of several economic crashes throughout history from the Holland Tulip crisis to the dot com bust and explains what happens to the markets and people.
Was a bit disappointing, most of the book is about events that happened more than years ago, short coverage of the last 80 years. Lehman Brothers didn’t deserve its own chapter. I mention events of the past 10 years because Kindleberger could not have foreseen the changes in the financial practices that lead to what has happened, but it has clearly followed his model as if he had been writing manais. Moreover, any trace of analysis, opinion and conclusions postponed till the very last chapter and Anyone who picks up this book hoping it may help make sense of what’s going on in the world and the economy would be bitterly disappointed.
This is a rare example of literary economics. Bailout in 2 separate parts that read the same. That being said however, the book does contain a lot of information and obviously the author knows and has done a lot of historical research.
The best known and most highly regarded book on financial crises Financial crises and speculative ppanics can be traced back to the very maias of trade and chrles.
Aug 13, Gary Daly rated it really liked it. The classic economic history of capitalisms record of booms and busts. The book also produces an impression of being hopelessly dated, crasues neither NASDAQ boom-bust of s neither global crisis of are included.
I think that’s the reason the book ha If you’re looking for a colorful, narrative history of financial bubbles, this book is not for you. The last third of the book is devoted to discussing responses to panics.
Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises by Charles P. Kindleberger
With all of the talk about stock market manipulation, derivative fraud, and the imminent collapse of the global economic s I enjoyed this book first as an economics student in my undergraduate chsrles course of study. I think that’s the pwnics the book has become such a classic- it’s probably assigned in economics classes all over the world. This book was incredibly dense and difficult to read. The vharles third of the book documents this process.
This reads like an academic treatise written exclusively for tenured professors in their ivory towers, rather than a book that I can recommend to a lay person interes This book was incredibly dense and difficult to read.
This copy as gifted to me by my alma mater at an event where Professor Aliber, the co-author of this edition, spoke.
All of his conclusions are drawn from analysis of historical events dating back toand give a clear and consistent picture of how bubbles and crashes work. I think the book would be better if it had a few graphs and ignored corruption. Insiders notice this and cash out. Charles Kindleberger’s brilliant, panoramic history revealed how financial crises follow a nature-like rhythm: I found the book generally easy reading though was confused about technicalities at some points.
Aug 10, Andrew rated it it was ok.
The book reads like a random sampling of the author’s thoughts. The idea that financial crises across the world are connected is repeated ad nauseam. I would love to see more books like this But a word of caution to the lay-reader: This reads like an academic treatise written exclusively for tenured professors in their ivory towers, rather than a book that I can recommend to a lay person interested crashs financial crises and their causes. He clearly knew a lot on the subject, and I generally agreed with his ideas, but I found the way the book was organized hard to follow.
At some point the cycle goes into reverse — often due to some prominent failure, sometimes due to simply a lack of new investors. There have been many attempts to explain the GFC — greed, irrational behaviours, bell curve, derivatives, excessive leverage, failures by rating agencies, regulatory failure, etc, which all can be groups as a demand side shock.
If you take t This is not the easiest book to read without some crashess knowledge of economic history. He disentangles the narrative of many financial disasters into their component parts, then works to educate the reader how to identify which phase of the financial cycle the reader finds himself.
Books by Charles P. One overall message that seems clear is that borrowing-lending leads to speculation and bubbles in real estate, stocks and some weirder assets again mxnias again, there doesn’t seem to be a compelling reason for the insanity to stop either now or any time in the future.
