Description: An Analysis of Charles P. Kindleberger's Manias, Panics, and Crashes by Nicholas Burton Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description When Manias, Panics, and Crashes was published (1978), the world was entering a new period of global economic turbulence. Economists based their analyses on the assumption that investors act rationally and often communicated their ideas with dry, technical language. Publisher Description Perhaps the most peculiar feature of a financial bubble – one that Charles Kindlebergers classic work Manias, Panics and Crashes draws particular attention to – is the inability of those trapped inside it to grasp the seriousness of their predicament. They know in principle that bubbles exist, and they know that the financial crashes that result from them are capable of destroying individuals wealth and entire economies. Yet whenever and wherever a bubble begins to form, were told that this time things are different, that there are sound reasons to continue to invest and to presume that prices will continue to rise steadily forever.Kindlebergers achievement is to use the critical thinking skill of evaluation to examine this strange mindset and the arguments advanced in support of it. He harshly judges the acceptability of the reasons used to create such arguments, and highlights the issues of relevance and adequacy that give us every reason to doubt them. Kindleberger also uses his powers of reasoning to effect an unusual achievement – writing a work soundly rooted in economics that nonetheless engages and convinces a non-specialist audience of the correctness of his arguments. Author Biography Dr Nicholas Burton holds a degree in economics from Bowdoin College, Maine, and a DPhil in English literature from Oxford. An award-winning playwright who has taken on subjects as diverse as the financial crisis and the lives of the Romantic poets, he currently lectures on play-writing at Royal Holloway, University of London, and is the Creative Arts Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford.
