A masterpiece in recognizing the early signs of a crisis.

The global economy has gone through the most tumultuous century in modern economic history. From the Wall Street stock market crash in 1929, to the currency crises of the 1980s, the housing market collapse in Japan, the boom and bust of the internet "bubble," the global financial crisis, and the COVID pandemic, crises have sent shocks throughout the world.

The book "The Great Crashes" narrates the stories of ten of these historical economic events. Each event serves as a cautionary tale, with lessons to be learned. With clear analysis, renowned economist Professor Linda Yueh uses these disasters to derive a crucial three-step framework that helps recognize the early signs of a crisis, mitigate its impact, and even prevent them in the future. There is very little certainty in economics, except for this: there will be another financial crisis.

Combining her extensive knowledge with captivating storytelling, "The Great Crashes" is essential reading offering urgent lessons for the modern world.
