The international financial system and individual national economies, including that of the United States, are suffering from the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since\n\u003cbr\u003ethe Great Depression. Economists are struggling to understand the origins and implications of the crisis. The Handbook of the Political Economy of Financial Crises  uses a political economy theoretical\n\u003cbr\u003eframework to analyze the crisis.After an opening chapter that describes the dimensions of the current crisis, the next section provides  relevant theoretical frameworks. Subsequent sections apply these theoretical frameworks to analyze the background, dimensions, and implications of the crisis for the  world economy. Leading scholars push forward our understanding of how and why our international and domestic economies  are susceptible to financial breakdown and what can\n\u003cbr\u003ebe done to mitigate this problem in the future. The methodology throughout applies theoretical concepts in the context of an historical and institutional understanding of the real\n\u003cbr\u003eworld.  By emphasizing the historical and institutional aspects of financial crises, the authors advance economic knowledge and provide insights into how we can manage our financial system to improve the lives of ordinary people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059535958254,"sku":"9780190240936","price":138.77,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190240936.jpg?v=1736500978","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/the-handbook-of-the-political-economy-of-financial-crises","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
