Ok- more like i wanted to read it. I read about 100 pages, but gave it up as i really wasn't getting much out of it. Loaded with the backstory of German debt and money supply and competing theories of Friedman / Keynes .. it is constantly making hard points... that are a bit too subtle for me. So... i am sure it is great, but in the end... too much for me ... alas.

Quite an unusual book. Instead of taking crises case by case, the author divides them on stages and gives a very detailed description of what happened on this or that stage, what are the similarities. This is a rare example of literary economics. It can be a very nice reference book but reading it is a bit hard

De la Tulipomanía a la caída de Lehman.

Escrito por uno de los economistas más brillantes del siglo XX junto a Galbraith, el libro es un riguroso análisis de las causas y consecuencias de las crisis financieras.
Un clásico imprescindible, en una edición actualizada y ampliada, para entender cómo funcionan y cómo se originan las crisis económicas; las pasadas, las presentes y las futuras.… (mais)
