Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance

By Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm

$35.20

Drawing on parallels from many countries and centuries, Roubini and Stephen Mihm, a professor of economic history and New York Times Magazine writer, show that financial cataclysm is as old and ubiquitous as capitalism itself. Roubini and Mihm show how we can recognize and grapple with the inherent instability of the global financial system, understand its pressure points, learn from previous episodes of “irrational exuberance,” pinpoint the course of global contamination and plan our immediate future. Perhaps most important, the authors explain how the world’s economy can get out of the mess it’s in and stay out.
