Critical Acclaim
‘The literature on financial crises is as rich and dramatic as financial crises themselves. Scholars of the subject – specialists and neophytes alike – are lucky to now have definitive introductions to its various aspects all in one place. We are indebted to Sara Hsu and colleagues for providing this essential reference.’
– Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, US
‘The Elgar Encyclopedia of Financial Crises, edited by Professor Sara Hsu is a fascinating “little shop of horrors” of financial mismanagement, poor judgement, and greed gone wild from Finland to the Philippines and just about everywhere in between. Written by knowledgeable scholars from around the globe, this authoritative Encyclopedia should be the “go to” source for students, scholars and policy makers who want to understand the amazing variety of financial follies perpetrated over the decades in places near and far.’
