Innhold
The best way to understand financial crises is to study economic history. Only by looking at the past are we able to recognize patterns in financial crises. And these patterns can help us when assessing future problems in the economy and how to deal with them. In this course, we take a closer look at several of the major financial crises from 1637 (the Tulip mania) to the problems in the world economy in recent years. Our main approach is to study the crises in a narrative way using a flexible theoretical framework.
