The authors track financial missteps from medieval currency debasements to the modern subprime catastrophe.

It also tracks cycles in housing, equity prices, capital flows, unemployment, and government revenues around these crises. While countries do weather their financial storms, the authors prove that short memories make it all too easy for crises to recur. It is an indispensable read that exposes centuries of financial missteps and reshapes modern policy discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n        \u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarmen M.
