Financial crises: socio-economic causes and institutional context
"This study explores the major patterns of change in the evolution of financial crises as enduring phenomena, and analyses the paradoxical position that crises are at once similar to and different from each other. Brenda Spotton Visano examines economic, psychological and social elements intrinsic to the process of capitalist accumulation and innovation to explain the enduring similarities of crises across historical episodes. She also assesses the impact that changing financial and economic structures have on determining the specific nature of crises and the differential effect these have in focal point, manner and extent of transmission to other, otherwise unrelated, parts of the economy."--BOOK JACKET
