This book presents a new perspective on financial crises, dividing them into "good" crises that expand markets and globalization, and "bad" crises that result in a smaller, less prosperous world. The book examines seven turning points in financial history, from the 1840s depression to the Covid-19 crisis, and shows that crises triggered by a lack of supply lead to greater globalization, while crises triggered by a lack of demand result in less globalization.
