Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A Financial Times Best Book of the Year: Economics"
"'Economies sometimes go through macro-financial crises.' Indeed, they do, as we have so painfully learned in recent decades. In this excellent and blessedly brief book, two distinguished scholars bring students and busy professionals up to date on the best thinking about how these crises originate and unfold and how policymakers need to respond. A valuable guide for those who need to understand what contemporary economics has to say on this vital topic."
---Martin Wolf, Financial Times"A must-read."
---Ashoka Mody, Project Syndicate"
A Crash Course on Crises packs a serious punch, covering a substantial amount of theoretical ground illustrated by real-world examples drawn from four continents and almost 100 years."
---Anjalika Badalai, Society of Professional Economists"Designed as both a complement to existing macroeconomic textbooks and a present-day primer for policymakers, [
A Crash Course on Crises] is brief, direct and accessible. It will likely adorn the reading lists of financial economics courses for years to come."
---Rémi Meehan, International Affairs
