Critical Acclaim
‘An essential reference work for both scholars and practitioners concerned with financial crises. Roubini and Uzan have collected from around the world – from reports, conferences and professional journals alike – the key theoretical and applied work on the crisis problem. The result is hefty and therefore worth the price.’
– Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, US
