| Summary |
How do people remember financial crisis? Do these memories affect how policy-makers and the public respond to crises, or is the past used in different ways by different actors? This volume examines a range of cases of financial crisis where either the past has been remembered, forgotten, used, or dismissed to try to begin to answer these questions |
