Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles

byJohn D. TurnerandWilliam Quinn

Why do stock and housing markets sometimes experience amazing booms followed by massive busts and why is this happening more and more frequently? Boom and Bust combines economic evidence, institutional analysis, and historical examples, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of business & economics, Boom and Bust explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the global history of financial bubbles emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
