About this listen

History doesn’t just repeat—it compounds. "Boom, Bust, Repeat: How Financial Disasters Shaped Modern Finance" pulls readers into the high-stakes world of market crashes, shady schemes, and government bailouts that built the financial empires we live with today. From Alexander Hamilton’s first bailout in 1792 to the global tremors of the 2008 financial crisis, Joseph Ejike Ojih delivers a page-turning journey through the chaos that created modern money power. This is not your typical economics book. It reads like a thriller. With shocking tales of fake countries like Poyais, reckless railroad bets, copper conspiracies, and the rise of megabanks, each chapter unpacks a major crash and the flawed decisions, bold rescues, and lasting institutions they spawned. You’ll meet rogue financiers, desperate lawmakers, daring visionaries, and the crowds they misled—or saved. Along the way, Ojih shows how each crash forced governments to act, often with short-term success but long-term consequences. Every collapse planted the seeds of the next.

This gripping narrative argues one simple truth: financial disasters don’t destroy the system—they define it. The New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve, deposit insurance, and even the megabanks of today were all forged in moments of panic. But with each reform, risk shifted quietly from the reckless to the public, making the next collapse bigger and costlier. With vivid storytelling, sharp analysis, and a warning that feels eerily timely, "Boom, Bust, Repeat" reveals that we are not preventing the next crash—we are engineering it. This is the book every investor, student, policymaker, and citizen must read. Because the future of finance lies not in calm—but in understanding the storm.
