Carmen Reinhart & Kenneth Rogoff - This Time Is Different
Nov 20 2009 7:00 pm
The authors, both economics professors, Reinhart at Maryland and Rogoff at Harvard, say that we could have known an economic crisis was looming. It is common for a real-estate bubble to precede (and cause) a banking crisis. We are dependent on the financial sector to funnel money into investment, which explains why a banking crisis must be avoided at all times. However, people have remarkably short memories when it comes to economic cycles. In this deeply researched and analytical book, the authors have laid out a method for anticipating fluctuations in the economy.
