Princeton. 2009. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:9780691142166. 62 line illus. 30 tables. 496 pages. hardcover. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Throughout history rich and poor countries alike have been lending borrowing crashing--and recovering--their way through an extraordinary range of financial crises. Each time the experts have chimed �this time is different�--claiming that the old rules of valuation no longer apply and that the new situation bears little similarity to past disasters. This book proves that premise wrong. 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. Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff leading economists whose work has been influential in the policy debate concerning the current financial crisis provocatively argue that financial combustions are universal rites of passage for emerging and established market nations. The authors draw important lessons from history to show us how much--or how little--we have learned. Using clear sharp analysis and comprehensive data Reinhart and Rogoff document that financial fallouts occur in clusters and strike with surprisingly consistent frequency duration and ferocity. They examine the patterns of currency crashes high and hyperinflation and government defaults on international and domestic debts--as well as the cycles in housing and equity prices capital flows unemployment and government revenues around these crises. While countries do weather their financial storms Reinhart and Rogoff prove that short memories make it all too easy for crises to recur. An important book that will affect policy discussions for a long time to come This Time Is Different exposes centuries of financial missteps. inventory #37463 ISBN: 9780691142166. hardcover

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Carmen Martin Gaite�s Entre Visillos Behind the Curtains was awarded the 1957 Nadal Prize - the oldest and most prestigious of all Spanish literary prizes. Set in a provincial town it focuses on the lives of several young women their relationships with each other and with their families their courtships and their ambitions. The scenes set in private homes cafes the casino the church the movies the streets and the main square give a clear depiction of small town existence in an authoritarian society. The stifling mores of Franco�s Spain catapult the young women into marriage at all costs - spinsterhood is a constant threat and a career is a serious deviation from the norm. Only a very few of the women manage to fight back against these restrictions and become independent. This is a realistic feminist novel which depicts Franco�s Spain through beautifully crafted characterizations It is a place where there is no transcendence of convention. In Entre Visillos the individual must privately affirm an identity for herself �behind the curtains.�. inventory #14480 ISBN: 0231068883. hardcover
