Crashes and Crises: Lessons from a History of Financial Disasters

Professor Connel Fullenkamp of Duke University guides you through four centuries of economic disasters, from tulip mania in the 1600s to the Great Recession of 2007-2009. Each episode covers a notable incident of financial misfortune or folly and inoculates you against the gullibility, overconfidence, and herd mentality that have lured many to financial ruin. This course sheds light on the volatile market of today by looking at mistakes made in risk-taking throughout history. In 24 half-hour lectures that are both gripping and instructive, Professor Connel Fullenkamp of Duke University shares some of the greatest stories of misfortune and malfeasance in history. Full of drama and consequences, these stories open a window into not just financial markets and money-making schemes, but also into our own human tendency to look for quick fixes and easy money.
