Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises (Wiley Investment Classics) (9780471467144): Charles P. Kindleberger, Robert Aliber, Robert Solow: Books. FinanceUnderneath the hilarious anecdotes, the elegant epigrams, and the graceful turns of phrase, Kindleberger is deadly serious. The manner in which human beings earn their livings is no laughing matter to him, especially when they attempt to do so at the expense of one another. As he so effectively demonstrates, manias, panics, and crashes are the consequence of an economic environment that cultivates cupidity, chicanery, and rapaciousness rather than a devout belief in the Golden Rule.—from the Foreword to the Fourth Edition by Peter L. Bernstein,author of Against the Gods and The Power of GoldPraise for previous editions of Manias, Panics, and CrashesClassic...Manias, Panics, and Crashes is a durable guide to meditation: wise, witty, and practical. It is a template against which to measure the latest financial crisis—whatever and whenever that happens to be.—David Warsh, The Boston GlobeDefinitive.—Floyd Norris, The New York Times[Manias, Panics, and Crashes] is a scholarly account of the way that mismanagement of money and credit has led to financial explosions over the centuries.—Richard Lambert, Financial TimesWhat long has been the best history of financial pathologies is now even better. The reader who absorbs Kindleberger's lessons will be prepared to foresee and navigate the financial crises that surely lie ahead. Like a true classic, Manias, Panics, and Crashes is both timely and timeless.—Richard Sylla, Kaufman Professor of Financial HistoryStern School of Business, New York University
