April’s BREAKINGWATERS book is the Financial Times Book of the Year 2020, Boom and Bust and one of its authors, John D. Turner, will join us for an open to anyone Q&A on Thursday April 30th at 2:30pm UKT.
BOOM & BUST
William Quinn and John D. Turner take us on a riveting ride through the history of financial bubbles, visiting, among other places, Paris and London in 1720, Latin America in the 1820s, Melbourne in the 1880s, New York in the 1920s, Tokyo in the 1980s, Silicon Valley in the 1990s and Shanghai in the 2000s. As they do so, they help us understand why bubbles happen, why some have catastrophic economic, social and political consequences whilst others have actually benefited society. They reveal that bubbles start when investors and speculators react to new technology or political initiatives, showing that our ability to predict future bubbles will ultimately come down to being able to predict these sparks.
That gives us 3 weeks to read - 13 pages a day.
Available in paperback, hardback, kindle and audiobook formats.
We can do this!
Look forward to reading along and chatting with John together!
