For History Teachers
Financial crises, geopolitics, and the economics behind the history
The History of Financial Crises walks students through tulip mania, 1929, the S&L crisis, 2008, and more — as decisions faced by the people inside them. Pair it with Geopolitics and Global Markets or Central Banking for units on the Depression, the postwar order, or the 2008 crash. History students who understand the money understand the history.
