Financial Crises: Lessons from the Past, Preparation for the Future

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Numerous crises rocked the world financial sector in the 1990s: the Asian bubble burst; Argentina and Brazil suffered currency crises; and the post-Soviet economy bottomed out in Russia. Here a distinguished group of economists and policy analysts draw lessons from attempts to recover from these and other financial crises of recent history. Potential hazards facing the world economy in the twenty-first century are also discussed along with approaches that could help to prevent them.
