Markus Brunnermeier and Ricardo Reis show how the run-up phase of a crisis often occurs in ways that are preventable but that may go unnoticed and discuss how debt contracts, banks, and a search for safety can act as triggers and amplifiers that drive the economy to crash. Brunnermeier and Reis then explain how monetary, fiscal, and exchange-rate policies can respond to crises and prevent them from becoming persistent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith case studies ranging from Chile in the 1970s to the COVID-19 pandemic, \u003ci\u003eA Crash Course on Crises\u003c\/i\u003e synthesizes a vast literature into ten simple, accessible ideas and illuminates these concepts using novel diagrams and a clear analytical framework.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markus K.
