International finance; Political economy; Financial crises & disasters

Much has been written on the financial crisis of 2008 – the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression – analysing its causes and the risks for the future of the global economy. This book takes an alternative approach which focuses on the legacy of the global financial crisis, what is remembered and what lessons have been drawn from it.

This volume provides perspectives on this legacy from a variety of contributors including central bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and journalists. They offer insight into what remains of the crisis in terms of public and industry awareness, changes to the post-2008 financial architecture, lessons from the national experiences of highly exposed small economies, and considers this legacy in terms of oversight by regulatory regimes. These diverse perspectives are drawn together here to ask how we can ensure that these lessons will be transmitted to the new generation of global financiers.

Reviews for The Legacy of the Global Financial Crisis

Youssef Cassis and Jean-Jacques van Helten have assembled a 'dream team' of authors, including academics, bankers, central bankers, journalists, politicians, and regulators, for this accessible, engaging, and informed edited volume on the legacy of the Global Financial Crisis. This book is a major contribution to our collective memory of the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. * Professor of Finance and Financial History, Queen's University Belfast, UK and Author of Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles * It is unique to have such a variety of established practitioners and academics reflecting on the Global Financial Crisis from multiple angles. I attended the original conference and I learned and thoroughly enjoyed the wide diversity of topics on the impact of the financial crisis. I am sure that the reflections and lessons now gathered in this book will be useful for future crisis management challenges. * Keishi Hotsuki, Chief Risk Officer, Morgan Stanley *
