Financial Crisis text book recommendation
One of my favorites in this dimension is &quot;This Time Is Different&quot; by Reinhart and Rogoff. Both are respected scholars. The title already suggests what they aim at.

Covering sixty-six countries across five continents, This Time Is Different presents a comprehensive look at the varieties of financial crises, and guides us through eight astonishing centuries of government defaults, banking panics, and inflationary spikes—from medieval currency debasements to today’s subprime catastrophe.
