In the book, you'll find: The reasons why, despite today's stronger monetary regime and risk-mitigation tools, our modern institutions are not immune to future crises Explanations about the development of the United States' Federal Reserve System, which was created in 1913 in direct response to the Panic of 1907 An engaging and entertaining account of an innately fascinating period in financial and economic history, with remarkable leaders and a gallery of rogues An indispensable tale that belongs on the shelves of anyone with an interest in American or financial history, The Panic of 1907 is an expert retelling of one of the most important, but least well-known crises of the last 200 years.
