The authors present ten different boom/bust scenarios that have occurred in a variety of time periods and geographic regions. They describe each situation in a way that allows the reader to be able to get a grasp on what happened without getting lost in minutiae. They go on to analyze the causes and the consequences of each situation. They introduce a simple, effective way to understand if a boom is occurring through the metaphor of the bubble triangle, akin to a fire triangle (fuel, air, heat). If 'speculation' is present along with enough excess 'money/credit', all that is needed is the promotional boost of what they term 'marketability' to begin the cycle that always seems to be new all over again. The authors state facts that reveal a deeper truth about human nature. When will we learn from our mistakes? Review: very informative book but a little on the dry side - I bought this book based on an FT recommendation. It delivered well on the promise of being informative about the bubbles including the lesser known ones. It didn't really tell me anything I didn't know about the south sea, but on the bicycle bubble and the Australian land bubble is sure did. Very likely it will do the same for you. The strength of the book is in being systematic. it has a model for the 3 things that are needed to make a bubble, and it touches on those 3 things for every bubble in a convincing way. The weakness of the book is also in being systematic. It makes for quite a dry and repatative read and doesn't really focus on the many fun anecdotes that come with a financial bubble. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #740,824 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #28 in Microeconomics (Books) #134 in International Economics (Books) #424 in Economic History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (540) | | Dimensions | 5.06 x 0.85 x 7.81 inches | | Edition | New | | ISBN-10 | 1108431658 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1108431651 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 374 pages | | Publication date | October 21, 2021 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Boom and Bust - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616+0sB9NhL.jpg) ![Boom and Bust - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s3ZcvC6wL.jpg) ![Boom and Bust - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R-SWuGUjL.jpg) ![Boom and Bust - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UZmiHdr6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When will we ever learn? *by B***S on July 19, 2022* This is an academic work that is both readable and enjoyable and therefore, exceptional.
