The Great Crashes – a new book from Dr Linda Yueh

Dr Linda Yueh CBE has a new book out. Titled, The Great Crashes: Lessons from Global Meltdowns and How to Prevent Them, the book covers the history of financial crashes, offering an accessible and insightful overview of modern financial crises, incorporating both historical detail and thoughtful analysis.

Since the Wall Street Crash in 1929, financial meltdowns have repeatedly sent shockwaves through our world. From the currency crises of the 1980s and 1990s, to Japan's housing crash, the dot com boom and bust, the global financial meltdown, the euro crisis and the COVID pandemic, ‘The Great Crashes’ tells the stories of ten of these historic events. They serve as a series of cautionary tales, each with their own set of lessons to be learnt.

With clear-eyed analysis, London Business School’s Adjunct Professor of Economics Dr Linda Yueh extracts a three-step framework to help recognise the early signs of a crash and mitigate the effects - all with the hope of preventing the worst mistakes of the past from being repeated in the next inevitable financial crisis. She warns about where the next one might come from and shows how her framework could contain it.

Combining her in-depth knowledge with compelling storytelling, ‘The Great Crashes’ is essential reading that offers urgent lessons for the modern world.
