Can It Happen Again?
Essays on Instability and Finance (Routledge Classics)
Hyman Minsky - 1982-06-03
Goodreads Rating
This book explores the question of whether the economic collapse of 1933 can happen again. The author, Hyman Minsky, presents some of his most important economic theories, including his celebrated "Financial Instability Hypothesis." He argues that any economic theory which separates the real economy from the financial system is bound to fail. Minsky also discusses the evolution of monetary institutions and Federal Reserve policy. This book is a must-read for economists, bankers, and policy makers who want to understand financial instability and its relationship to the capitalist economy.

@nonparibus @FrancoB411 That would be great. Let's DM. BTW that's Minsky's worst book. Leave it on the shelf and get "Can 'It' Happen Again?" instead.      source
