5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating classic study of how economies pulled out of diasters,
By Benito Cellini "economist" (Washington D.C., USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Economic Behaviour in Adversity (Hardcover)
This contains the newest and most accessible version of a semi-lost classic of economic history, Hirshleifer's 1963 Rand Corporation study "Disaster and Recovery." The disasters include everything from the Black Death to the early days of Communism in Russia and the postwar recoveries of Japan and Germany. There are more facts here than you can find in any other single place. There are other insightful essays on topics of economics and history in this collection, but the first chapter alone is worth whatever you pay for the book. I read "Disaster and Recovery" as an undergrad at UCLA in 1963 and was blown away. It's still just as amazing today as it was then.
