This study explores the major patterns of change in the evolution
of financial crises as enduring phenomena and analyzes the
paradoxical position that crises are at once similar to and
different from each other. Brenda Spotton-Visano examines economic,
psychological and social elements intrinsic to the process of
capitalist accumulation and innovation to explain the enduring
similarities of crises across historical episodes. She also
assesses the impact that changing financial and economic structures
have on determining the specific nature of crises and the
differential effect these have in focal point, manner and extent of
transmission to other, otherwise unrelated, parts of the economy.
Financial Crises offers a consistent method for interpreting
variations in financial crises through time and allows for a better
overall appreciation for both the transitory fragility and enduring
flexibility of financial capitalism and the potential vulnerability
created by on-going financial development. Topical and informative,
this key book is of keen interest to all those studying and
researching international economics and political economy.
The financial crisis is a recurring phenomenon, yet its various
instances have differed greatly in nature. Crises have punctuated
the history of Western financial systems since the early eighteenth
century variously appearing in the guise of stock market crashes,
large-scale failures of financial enterprises, collapses in the
external value of a nation's currency, or some combination of the
three.

This book analyzes the highly contentious payday lending industry,
presenting valuable new data collected during Canada's recent
regulatory reviews and demonstrating its relevance to payday
lending conversations taking place worldwide. The authors treat the
industry with a balanced hand by establishing its importance as an
example of financialization and acknowledging the complex impact of
payday lending services on low-income and credit-constrained
clients. Up-to-date data from an interdisciplinary mix of
financial, econometric, legal, behavioral economic, and
socioeconomic sources-all in the context of an established Canadian
industry-provide both proponents and opponents of payday lending
with valuable evidence for their discussions of how much regulation
is required to minimize harmful consequences. These insights from
Canada expand a US-centric conversation and provide a key resource
for the growing list of countries in which the industry is present,
from the UK and Poland to South Africa and Australia.

This book examines financial vulnerability: a state in which a
person or household cannot absorb any substantial spending or
negative income shock without substantial financial and ultimately
broader harm such as job loss, emotional harm, or mental illness.
The focus of the book is on the experiences of low- income and
modest income Canadian families - families which, by virtue of
being in the lower income brackets, are particularly at risk of
experiencing financial hardship. Looking at vulnerability from a
conceptual and empirical lens, this book offers a framework to
better understand the complex and interdependent ways in which
financial vulnerability emerge and can be addressed. By locating
its analysis of individual and household financial management in
wider community, cultural, and economic contexts, this book seeks
to offer holistic policy recommendations to reduce financial
vulnerability, with implications that go beyond Canada and to other
developed countries.
