As we tour the 400 year history of capitalism through its various
phases of development, financial system instability is always there
lurking in the shadows. The historical record attests that the
processes of aggregating capital for real investment are
inescapably vulnerable to risk, manic speculation, unserviceable
debt, and crises; and with each episode of instability, a trail of
devastation follows. Economic historians such as Hyman Minsky,
Charles Kindleberger and others have studied this history and have
exposed certain boom-bust patterns that have a way of stubbornly
repeating themselves. This book posits that the large-scale
financial crises that the world has experienced over the last 30
years are more or less the latest segments in this narrative, but
with some distinct characteristics. In the period spanning the
stock market crash of 1987 to the banking crisis of 2008 and its
aftermath - the Greenspan Era - there were key institutional and
ideological developments rooted in contemporary neoliberalism that
have reshaped the historic rise-and-fall patterns to become more
severe and widespread. In this important volume, Magnuson suggests
the next episode will be a massive financial cyclone that will send
us all tumbling toward a perilous future.
