SUMMARY:Economic and Financial Crises in American History\
 , July 28–August 3
DESCRIPTION:\n 	Director\n \n 	Richard Sylla\, Henry Kaufman P
 rofessor of The History of Financial Institutions 
 and Markets and Professor of Economics\, Departmen
 t of Economics\, Leonard N. Stern School of Busine
 ss\, New York University\n \n 	Overview\n \n 	The 
 financial crisis and the ensuing economic recessio
 n of 2007&ndash\;2009 serve to remind us that such
  crises and downturns have been recurring events i
 n American history. They have occurred on average 
 once every fifteen to twenty years since 1789. In 
 this seminar we will study the causes of some majo
 r financial crises&mdash\;those of 1792\, 1837&nda
 sh\;1839\, 1873\, 1893&ndash\;1895\, 1907\, 1929&n
 dash\;1933\, 1989&ndash\;1990\, and 2007&ndash\;20
 09&mdash\;and will explore the social\, political\
 , and economic consequences of the crises. We will
  discuss the typical pattern of most of the crises
 \, differences among them\, and issues such as whe
 ther legislative and regulatory responses to a cri
 sis make subsequent crises more or less likely. Pa
 rticipants will gain a better understanding of the
  complexities of our financial system\, how it dev
 eloped over two centuries\, and how periodically i
 t has crashed on the rocks of excessive risk takin
 g and speculation.\n \n 	\n 		Readings\n 	\n 		Rea
