A Brief History of Doom: Two Hundred Years of Financial Crisis

byRichard Vague

Richard Vague uses A Brief History of Doom to investigate two Hundred Years of Financial Crisis through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of business & economics. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
