How do economists reconcile their expertise with their failures to predict and manage the 2008 financial crisis? This book goes a long way toward an answer by using systems theory to reveal the complex interdependence of factors and forces behind the crisis. In her fully integrated view of the economy, how it works, and how the economic crisis burst, Karen Higgins combines human psychology, cultural values, and belief formation with descriptions of the ways banks and markets succeed and fail. In each chapter she introduces themes from financial crisis literature and brings a systems-theory treatment of them. Her methodology and visual presentations both develop the tools of systems theory and apply these tools to the financial crisis. Not just another volume about the crisis, this book challenges the status quo through its unique multidisciplinary approach.
- Presents a broad global view of international economic health and international corporate health
- Describes how policies, regulations, and trends dating to the 1950s influenced the crisis
- Assumes readers possess a general familiarity of economics and finance

"Financial Whirlpools insists that the economy must be studied as a complex whole that is capable of producing unexpected results and brings these insights to bear on the financial sector. The book is a welcome departure from the individualistic and mechanistic thinking that blinded a profession to the possibility of the recent financial crisis." --Mark Stterfield, Trinity College, US
