The '2008 Crisis' in an economic history perspective: Looking at the twentieth century

Christopher Kobrak and Mira Wilkins

Business History, 2011, vol. 53, issue 2, 175-192

Abstract: This introduction sets the articles in this special issue into their historical context and explores some of the definitional problems associated with discussions of financial and economic crises. It highlights some of the unifying themes and wider lessons of the papers found in the issue and makes the case for greater historical understanding of crises while outlining the limits of historical analogy.
