Now with a fully updated Preface that details how the lessons, insight and wisdom provided in the first impression of this book are still as relevant today as they were on the day of original publication. Some even more so.

Lessons from the Financial Crisis is an essential and comprehensive resource for market participants, researchers, regulators, academics and governments worldwide.

Containing both academic analysis and practical insights from renowned researchers and leading authorities such as John Hull and Stuart Turnbull, all aspects of the crisis which has defined a generation are rigorously examined.

“This book has an extraordinary range of well organized chapters from highly distinguished financial academics and practitioners. Given the poor historical record of learning “lessons” from financial crises, this book provides an invaluable opportunity to gain multiple important perspectives from people in a position to share substantial wisdom that should not be missed.”

Bennett W. Golub, Chief Risk Officer, BlackRock, Inc.
