Remembering and Learning from Financial Crises
«By combining historical perspectives with memory studies, this volume opens a broader discussion about financial crises rather than offering a systematic approach or drawing general conclusions. It adds new details to our understanding of remembering and learning from financial crises and might inspire more attempts to research the memories of financial crises in other regions, periods, and contexts. Both financial and cultural historians could benefit from reading this insightful book.»

The chapters in this book reflect on people's relationships with past financial crises - from public opinion to business leaders and policy makers. In connection with financial crises, Remembering and Learning from Financial Crises addresses three fundamental questions: first, are financial crises remembered, and if so how? Second, have lessons been drawn from past financial crises? And third, have past experiences been used in order to make practical
decisions when confronted with a new crisis? These questions are of course related, yet they have been approached from different historical perspectives, using methodologies borrowed from different academic disciplines.

decisions when confronted with a new crisis? These questions are of course related, yet they have been approached from different historical perspectives, using methodologies borrowed from different academic disciplines. One of the objectives of this book is to explore how these approaches can complement each other
in order to better understand the relationships between remembering and learning from financial crises and how the past is used by financial institutions. It thus recognises financial crisis as a recurring phenomenon and addresses the impact that this has in a range of public and policy contexts.

«This is a densely written book blending financial histories and memory studies. It draws on original interviews and a wide range of archival resources. The editors have provided data on a range of financial crises some remembered, some forgotten, some dismissed.»
