The Financial Crises of the 90s #997492

Since the early 1990s, the world has been caught in a relentless cycle of boom, bubble, and bust. As markets became more interconnected, the "domino effect" turned localized tremors into global earthquakes. The Domino Effect provides a definitive post-mortem of the crises that redefined the modern age, tracing the invisible threads that connect the currency devaluations of the nineties to the pandemic-era volatility of today.
In this comprehensive analysis, you will go behind the closed doors of central banks and trading floors to witness the moments the world stood on the brink:

• The Tequila and Contagion Years: From the 1994 Mexican Peso Crisis to the "Asian Tigers" of 1997, and the subsequent collapses in Russia and Brazil, discover how emerging markets became the first casualties of globalization.
• The Valuation Myth: Revisit the Dot-com bubble, where "irrational exuberance" proved that even the digital revolution couldn't outrun the laws of economics.
• The Great Fractures: A deep dive into the 2007–2009 Global Financial Crisis, the subprime meltdown that nearly dismantled the Western banking system, and the 2010–2011 Sovereign Debt Crisis that threatened the very existence of the Euro.
• The Invisible Enemy: An examination of the 2019 COVID-19 shock, a crisis unlike any other, where biological reality collided with high-frequency finance.

Blending rigorous economic data with gripping narrative, this book is an essential guide for investors, history buffs, and anyone seeking to understand the architecture of our fragile financial world. We have spent decades building a faster, more integrated global economy—but have we built one that can truly survive?
