"When Bubbles Burst" provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the global economy, examining the mechanics behind bubbles and crashes and suggesting trends for the future.
In a globalized economy, it has become increasingly difficult for nations, companies and individuals to protect themselves from financial volatility. What causes our global system to generate unforeseen bubbles and catastrophic crashes?
