This Time Is Different

Eight Centuries of Financial Folly

Carmen M. Reinhart

This comprehensive study takes a look at financial crises throughout history and proves that experts claiming "this time is different" are wrong. Covering 66 countries across five continents, authors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff draw important lessons from history and document the patterns of currency crashes, inflationary spikes, and government defaults. Using clear analysis and comprehensive data, they prove that short memories make it easy for crises to recur. An essential read for anyone interested in financial policy discussions.
