1. This Time Is Different
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of financial crises over the last eight centuries, examining the patterns and triggers of various economic downturns, from government defaults to banking panics. Through a meticulous compilation of historical data, the authors debunk the common belief that modern finance has made such crises obsolete, illustrating instead how similar patterns of excessive debt accumulation have consistently led to financial collapses. The work emphasizes the recurring theme that, despite technological advances and changes in financial systems, the belief that "this time is different" remains a dangerous illusion, often preceding the worst financial collapses.
