#210 - Prof John Turner and Dr William Quinn - Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles

Professor John Turner and Dr William Quinn of Queen's University Belfast were my guests on today's show. They are the authors of the recent book, Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles, which has been critically acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal, The Times Literary Supplement, and the Irish Times, and was named an Economics Book of the Year for 2020 by the Financial Times. With so much talk about inflation, bubbles, cryptocurrency, and an impending financial crash, this felt like the perfect opportunity to get them on the show. We even covered some Evergrande and China details that many people are missing.

 

William Quinn has been a Lecturer in Finance at Queen's Management School since 2018. His research focuses on historical stock markets, stock market bubbles, and market corners. John Turner has been a Professor of Finance and Financial History at Queen’s University Belfast since 2005.  His research is focussed on the long-run evolution and development of banking, banking crises, bubbles, and financial markets. He is the author of Banking in Crisis, published by Cambridge University Press. Banking in Crisis won the 2015 Wadsworth Prize. He is currently an editor of the Economic History Review.
