As the saying goes, however, all good things come to an end. Providing insights into the evolution of the global political economy, From Malaise to Meltdown identifies the main instigators behind the global financial crises we've seen in the last two hundred years. Michael Lee shows that, in time, power diffuses from the leading economy to others, creating an intensely competitive push for global financial leadership. Hungry for the benefits of global leadership, declining leaders and aspiring challengers alike roll back long-standing regulatory safeguards in an effort to spark growth. Risks to global financial stability mount as a result of this rollback and waves of severe financial crises soon follow. As Lee deftly shows, the Long Depression of 1873-1896, the Great Depression of 1929-1939, and the financial crisis of 2008 are part of the same recurrent pattern: global competition disrupts the longstanding political equilibria, prompting a search for new, risky ideas among the most powerful states. From Malaise to Meltdown presents a sweeping but accessible historical narrative about the coevolution of power, ideas, and domestic politics, supported by archival research into the risky decisions that ushered in the worst financial crises in history."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Financial crises $x History. 650 0 $a Deregulation $x History. 650 7 $a Deregulation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891008 650 7 $a Financial crises. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924607 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lee, Michael, 1983- $t From malaise to meltdown. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2020 $z 9781487535117 $z 9781487535117 $w (OCoLC)1150901093 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F29E30EFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
