Stabilizing an Unstable Economy

With today's financial market turmoil rocking investments around the globe, market watchers say we're in a "Minsky moment," where financial crisis is inevitable. Stabilizing an Unstable Economy is now accessible to all money managers, traders, and economists in this new edition.

Hyman P. Minsky, Ph.D., was an American economist who studied under Joseph Schumpeter and Wassily Leontief. He taught economics at Washington University, University of California, Berkeley, Brown University, and Harvard University. Minsky joined the Jerome Levy Economics Institute of Bard College as a distinguished scholar in 1990, where he continued his research and writing until a few months before his death in October, 1996. His two seminal books were Stabilizing an Unstable Economy and John Maynard Keynes.
