Great financial disasters have a long history, with the first well-documented case being Tulipmania in the 1630s. Fast forward to the late 20th century, a similar phenomenon emerged with the rise of dotcom companies, fueled by new technology and the human tendency to let hope overshadow reality, often seen as greed. These events highlight two significant human failings: the inability to learn from history and the tendency to ignore known truths. This concise book aims to aid students of banking and finance by complementing existing textbooks. It illustrates how real-world events can undermine theoretical knowledge. During financial panics, banks and institutions may find themselves unprepared, often becoming victims of circumstances beyond their control. Yet, in most cases, the signs of impending crises have been evident to those willing to recognize them. The adage "there are none so blind as those who do not wish to see" rings especially true in these situations.
