Hyman P. Minsky
Sull'autore
Hyman P. Minsky was a prominent American economist best known for his work on financial instability and the dynamics of capitalist economies. He developed the Financial Instability Hypothesis, which suggests that financial markets are inherently unstable and that periods of economic stability often lead to complacency, increasing the likelihood of future crises. His ideas gained renewed attention during the 2007-2008 financial crisis, as they provided a framework for understanding the causes of economic turmoil through excessive risk-taking and speculative behavior.
