Book Reviews of Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics)

Book Review: Manias, Panics, and Crashes
Summary: 5 Stars

I gave this book to my grandson who is majoring at UCSD in economics. He has not had any course yet covering the history of financial crashes, etc. and finds it fascinating to compare past times with the present economic slowdown. Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics)

Summary of Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics)

A scholarly and entertaining account of the way that mismanagement of money and credit has led to financial explosions over the centuries. Covering such topics as the history and anatomy of crises, speculative manias, and the lender of last resort, this book has been hailed as "a true classic...both timely and timeless." The updated fifth edition expands upon each chapter, and includes two new chapters covering significant crises of the last fifteen years around the world.
