Manias, Panics and Crashes by Charles Poor Kindleberger
This volume was first published in 1978, and dealt with financial crises that were, for the most part, before World War II. Black Monday of October 1987, along with other factors, indicated a need for further research. The third edition had its stimulus in the Japanese crash of January 1990, the effects of which carried through to decade. This new fourth edition covers the striking troubles of Mexico in 1994-95 and East Asia in 1997-98.
'Charles Kindleberger has written, with great polish and style, an analysis of the stages of financial crises over the last two and a half centuries' - Patrick Minford, Economic Journal 'Manias, Panics and Crashes is a scholarly account for the way that mismanagement of money and credit has led to financial explosions over the centuries.' - Richard Lambert, Financial Times 'Professor Kindleberger has the welcome gifts of carrying lightly an immense weight of learning and of always using his imagination in deciding how to deploy it. These gifts are as evident as ever in his latest book.' - W.Ashworth, Economic History Review
