Summary:
Tomado de la solapa: "Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini electrified his profession and the larger financial community by predicting the current crisis well in advance of
anyone else. Unlike most in his profession who treat economic disasters as freakish once-in-a-lifetime events without clear cause, Roubini, after decades of careful research around the
world, realized that they were both probable and predictable. Armed with an unconventional blend of historical analysis and global economics, Roubini has forced politicians, policy makers,
investors, and market watchers to face a long-neglected truth: financial systems are inherently fragile and prone to collapse. In Roubini's shadow, economists and investors are increasingly
realizing that they can no longer afford to consider crises the black swans of financial history. A vital and timeless book, Crisis Economics proves calamities to be not only predictable but
also preventable and, with the right medicine, curable."
