    <body><![CDATA[I've been wanting to read this book for years; if only I'd read it sooner. It astounds me to think that the geniuses on Wall Street could have ignored this book when it was first published in 1978!!! With a prescience almost scary in its applicability to today's credit mess, Kindleberger outlines the stages of financial panics throughout history. Beginning with the Dutch tulip bulb mania of the 17th century, the author shows that the more things change, the more they remain the same: assets become overpriced beyond reason, fools rush in, the bubble bursts, markets collapse, and we start all over again.<br/>Don't say he didn't warn you...]]></body>
