Synopsis

This Time Is Different examines eight centuries of financial crises, from medieval currency debasements to modern subprime collapses. Through extensive historical data, the authors reveal patterns of boom and bust, showing that financial crises are a recurring feature of economic history. The book argues that policymakers and investors often ignore these historical lessons, believing 'this time is different,' leading to predictable and devastating outcomes.
