Lessons from nine financial crises since the 1960s
10th February 2019
The veteran economics journalist William Keegan reflects here on the key events of the eight financial crises involving the UK that he has covered, This is an engaging journey down memory lane for those of us who have been teaching economics for well over thirty years. For contemporary students, it might be a handy reminder that financial crises are nothing new and are perhaps becoming more frequent in a world of financialisation and external economic shocks.
A nice piece by @williamkeegan on the nine economic crises he has covered as a great economic journalist:https://t.co/sQWjwcjrAB

"Of the recurring themes over... these nine crises, I find two that stand out. One is the constant search by British policymakers for an economic panacea, and the second is the way that certain obsessions take over in the coverage of economics." https://t.co/CE8QhIzkrw
