Charlie Kindleberger (CPK from now on) was a delightful colleague: perceptive, responsive, curious about everything, full of character, and, above all, lively. Those same qualities are everywhere evident in Manias, Panics and Crashes. I think that CPK began to work on the book in the spirit of writing a natural history, rather as Darwin must have done at the stage of the Beagle – collecting, examining and classifying interesting specimens. Manias, panics and crashes had the advantage over rodents, birds and beetles that they were accompanied by the rhetoric of contemporaries, sometimes with insight, sometimes just blather. It was CPK’s style as an economic historian to hunt for interesting things to learn, not to pursue a systematic agenda.
