If you're looking for a colorful, narrative history of financial bubbles, this book is not for you. Kindleberger is bone dry, and his goal is mainly to analyze common features of bubble cycles. Towards that end, he tends to pick a feature, then run through ten or twenty examples of how that feature worked during past bubbles. That leads to a lot of repetition, but by the end of the book, you definitely get a clear sense of how the Minsky model views bubbles. I think that's the reason the book ha..more

Kindleberger Manias Panics And Crashes

Was a bit disappointing,
most of the book is about events that happened more than 100 years ago,
short coverage of the last 80 years.
The book reads like 10 different people wrote parts of it
and didn't know what others were writing.
Some events are covered multiple times,
the south sea bubble has 16 entries, often saying the same thing.
Treasury sec Paulson was called Mr. Bailout in 2 separate parts that read the same.
I totally disagree that Lehmann bro should have been bailed out.
They piled on billio..more

Highly disappointing read. I read the book based on its reputation as the definitive work on extreme economic valuations.
I found a disconcertingly disjointed presentation. The book reads like a random sampling of the author's thoughts. There was not a linear/cohesive presentation of any of the historical bubbles.

This is a classic book in the financial world, but I was somewhat disappointed with it. Kindleberger uses Hyman Minsky's 'anatomy' of financial crises to discuss commonalities between a number of different financial panics from different countries at different times in history. I had been hoping for more of a straightforward narrative description of each crisis, many of which, after all, occurred in unfamiliar settings. But in fact, Kindleberger uses the generic 'crisis anatomy' as the structure..more

A good introductory book to the history of financial cycles, but only for people with some background in economics.
I didn't like the style. Many times it felt like an endless list of historical examples that illustrate an idea. The idea that financial crises across the world are connected is repeated ad nauseam. Lehman Brothers didn't deserve its own chapter.
It doesn't read as a treatise on the economics causes and consequences of financial cycles, panics, etc., and it doesn't read as an econom..more

This book was referred to by another book I've been reading. This copy as gifted to me by my alma mater at an event where Professor Aliber, the co-author of this edition, spoke.
One of the most dense and therefore challenging books I've read. Every paragraph is jammed with facts. I think the book would be better if it had a few graphs and ignored corruption. There's plenty to digest here without getting into Ponzi, Madoff, or Enron. I also think some more perspective on why credit bubbles get in..more

I think it would have been a lot more fun to sit down and talk with Kindleberger about his theories than to read this book. He clearly knew a lot on the subject, and I generally agreed with his ideas, but I found the way the book was organized hard to follow. A case of, 'I'd have done it differently if I was writing it.'

Important material delivered in a dry, difficult to follow narrative.
