"By combining historical perspectives with memory studies, this volume opens a broader discussion about financial crises rather than offering a systematic approach or drawing general conclusions. It adds new details to our understanding of remembering and learning from financial crises and might inspire more attempts to research the memories of financial crises in other regions, periods, and contexts. Both financial and cultural historians could benefit from reading this insightful book." - Yi Liu, H-Soz-Kult

"This is a densely written book blending financial histories and memory studies. It draws on original interviews and a wide range of archival resources. The editors have provided data on a range of financial crises some remembered, some forgotten, some dismissed." - Rosemary Connell, Society of Professional Economists
