Description

In this magisterial account of the Great Depression, MIT economist Charles Kindleberger emphasizes three factors that continue to shape global financial markets: panic, the power of contagion, and importance of hegemony. Reissued on its fortieth anniversary with a new foreword by Barry J. Eichengreen and J. Bradford DeLong, this masterpiece of economic history shows why U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, during the darkest hours of the 2008 global financial crisis, turned to Kindleberger and his peers for guidance.

Editorial Reviews

"Bringing together the factual pieces from his wide reading in published sources, he leads us toward a more systematic view of the unstable international economy of the 1920s and 1930s. Historians should be grateful for his readable narrative and his straightforward discussions of mechanisms of international trade and finance which baffle most non- economists."-- "Business History Review"
