Professor Piersanti's book on currency crises helps to put order into this literature to the uninitiated reader in currency crises and even helps those that follow the literature to keep track of the ever increasing contributions to the topic. In particular, this book is very useful for teaching a PhD course on financial crises. The expostion is clear and the accompanying mathematical models are well developed with all the assumptions clearly specified as is important for a textbook. The book examines the theoretical literature of currency crises in extreme detail so that the reader not only can learn about the bare bones of the original models but also the bells and whistles included in the follow-up research that brings the models closer to explain empirical regularities. -- ournal of Economic Literature
