For the last century, financial crash after financial crash has sent shockwaves through our world. It's time we learned from them.
'Remarkably accessible' The Times
_________________
There is very little that is certain in economics, except this: there will be another financial crisis. But while we may not be able to stop the next one, we can predict and contain it.
The Great Crashes tells the stories of ten historic financial events - from the Wall Street Crash and the dot com boom and bust to the COVID pandemic - and what we can learn from them.
Combining her clear-eyed analysis with compelling storytelling, renowned economist Professor Linda Yueh uses these meltdowns to extract a critical three-step framework to help us to recognise the early signs of a crash, mitigate the effects and even prevent them in the future. It is a book that offers urgent lessons for the modern world.

Review
A first point of entry for anybody who wants to learn how the world economy sleep-walked into multiple crashes over the last century -- Daron Acemoglu - Institute Professor, MIT, and author of Why Nations Fail
Fascinating, well-written and authoritative - Tim Harford
An accessible and insightful overview of modern financial crises, incorporating both historical detail and thoughtful analysis -- Kenneth Rogoff - Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Harvard University, and former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund
Linda provides many with a very readable summary of all the great crises, but also more importantly derives the big lessons and how to have a better policy framework to avoid getting caught up in too much " this time it is different" when the next big risks appear -- Lord Jim O'Neill - Author of The Growth Map and former Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management
A masterclass in spotting the early signs of a crisis. Linda Yueh expertly shows how we can understand these crashes better when they occur and even prevent them from happening in the future. A accessible yet rich study of our most turbulent economic years -- Nouriel Roubini - author of Megathreats
This well-written book draws out the many different ways in which markets can crash and she's willing to chance her arm predicting the next one -- Sir Vince Cable - author of How to be a Politician and former UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
A timely and instructive book on the big financial and economic crashes. It comes in the midst of a global polycrisis that threatens the economic and social well being of all especially the World's poorest citizens. Linda Yueh makes a heroic effort to tease out lessons fundamental to managing future crises. The question is: Will we learn? -- Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - WTO Director-General and former Finance Minister of Nigeria
Troubled times call for a historical perspective and this is the historical perspective we need -- John Kay - author of Radical Uncertainty and former member of the Independent Commission on Banking of the UK Government, 2010-2011
Demonstrates how that old saying - "this time is different" - is both so true and so wrong! -- Lord Green
Crashes are an integral part of the history of capitalism. The last century has seen plenty of them. All crashes begin with debt-fuelled euphoria and end in disappointment. Yet how bad that disappointment turns out to be also depends on where in the economy the crash falls and how determined and credible are the responses. In this lively and blessedly brief book, Linda Yueh does a lovely job of explaining the history and drawing the necessary lessons -- Martin Wolf - Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times
This excellent overview identifies the ingredients that are specific to each crisis and common to all. She provides a lucid assessment of the efficacy of policy responses, high-lighting credibility as a necessary condition for successful resolution -- Nick McPherson - former Permanent Secretary of the Treasury
"Why did nobody notice?" Was the question the Queen asked about the 2008 financial crisis. It was a good question. All financial crises and crashes have their own characteristics but they also often involve certain common features:- Irrational exuberance, Speculative frenzy, Greed and over confidence usually supported by high levels of gearing.
Linda Yueh's new book will be a timely reminder to governments and regulators of the warning signs of future crises
Timely, entertaining and full of useful insights -- Gideon Rachman - Chief foreign affairs commentator, Financial Times
