Very educating, comprehensive and interesting book. I don't think that Porter left anything out that lead to the current financial crisis and past crises. What I especially enjoyed are the discussions that get introcudeced after the crises are explained in detail. If everybody would have read this book, we would not have slided into this big crisis.
Really, a great and comprehensive book! Suitable for every collage class in finance and economics.

This book is really worth every penny. It is very well written, easy to understand and very very interesting. It highlights all the major events that happend in the last crisis but also the crises of the last century. The reader develops a feeling for when the next crises might happen and we can simply learn so much out of the past. I think if everybody would read this book the next financial ciris would not hit us that hard, because most people would be able to interprete the signes and know how to prepare.

If you look for a comprehensive book about financial crises this is it! Everything you need to know, and I think it also looks great! ;)

I guess, this books is pretty much complete. :) It is very nice too read, very interesting and I can tell you, once you start it, you don't want to stop. It starts with the financial crash in 1929 and explains every major crisis, such as the .com bouble, and many more. It also gives you a lot of background knowledge and puts you in the middle of the current disussion. I really like it! I think, everybody should have one! We should make it a schoolbook. There is so much we can learn from this crisis and past crises.

The book explaines everything you need to know about financial crises. It can easily serve as a textbook in universities but is also very interesting to read on a long flight. After reading this book, you are an expert for financial and global crisis. Really, very nice book, very educating, interesting and comprehensive.

This book is great, it's very modern design was the first that I recognized but it does, of course, not only look good. The book gives you a very comprehensive overview over the last financial crises and points out what led to them, how they developed and what we can learn out of them. Really a great book, that should be tought in our universities!

I was misled by the good reviews given for this book. Basically it is a complilation of materials lifted off wikipedia. I would not have bought it if I had known better.
