The Antecedents and Aftermath of Financial Crises as Told by Carlos F. Diaz Alejandro

Working Paper Series from Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government

Abstract: Some of the best-known papers of Carlos F. Diaz Alejandro were about Latin America's crises in the 1980s and 1930s. I will show data, figures and evidence here about the crises in the advanced economies 30 years later that fit the same narrative. His unadulterated words aptly describe modern problems across geographical borders and, in this case, income levels. This attests to his timeless insight and understanding. Because some of the observations he made have general applicability to the study of recurring patterns across cities, I have taken the liberty to label these as lessons.
