Financial Crisis text book recommendation I am looking for an academic textbook on the science of financial crises, such as bank runs, monetary crisis, bubbles, stock market crashes etc.
Ideally, the textbook would address what is currently known about why crises happen, explained in objective and scientific language, explaining the underlying mechanics and/or the known leading indicators.
Finally, the textbook does not need to focus on a particular crisis e.g. the 1929 or 2007 crisis, preferably it would be a general treatment of the subject.
Thank you!
One of my favorites in this dimension is &quot;This Time Is Different&quot; by Reinhart and Rogoff. Both are respected scholars. The title already suggests what they aim at.

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.
