Since 2007, the global financial system has endured extreme
turbulence with banks suffering stomach-churning losses,
necessitating unbelievable bailouts by national governments.
Moreover, the ongoing eurozone crisis has highlighted still further
the often dysfunctional interactions between government regulators,
banks, and capital markets. But, of course, these events are far
from novel. The current crises prompt comparisons with the Great
Depression of the 1930s, the global crisis of 1907, the
international crises of the 1870s, the meltdown of 1825, the
Mississippi and South Sea bubbles of 1719 20, the Roman crisis of
33AD, the default by Dionysius, tyrant of Syracuse, around 400BC,
and perhaps even the financial cataclsym in Babylon that occurred
more than three thousand years ago.
The urgent necessity to locate, and learn from, successful
examples of sustained recovery from severe financial crises and to
place present crises in a meaningful historical context underscores
the timeliness and usefulness of this new Routledge collection,
expertly edited by Larry Neal and D Maris Coffman. In four volumes,
the collection meets the need for an authoritative reference work
to allow researchers and students to make sense of a vast
literature and the continuing efflorescence in research output.
Users will now be able easily and rapidly to locate the best and
most influential scholarship, work that is otherwise often
inaccessible or scattered throughout a variety of specialist
journals and books. With material gathered into one easy-to-use
set, researchers and students can spend more of their time with the
key journal articles, book chapters, and other pieces, rather than
on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches."
The History of Financial Crises" is fully indexed and includes a
comprehensive introduction and epilogue, newly written by the
editors. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be
valued by users as a vital one-stop research resource."
