Abstract
Financial crises have severe, enduring consequences: they restrict credit access, forcing businesses to reduce investment and individuals to cut consumption. Often requiring taxpayer-funded bank bailouts, these crises trigger rising unemployment, economic collapse, spiraling debt, and currency devaluation. This chapter focuses in particular on the 2007-2009 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and identifies key lessons learned about regulatory failures, the interconnectedness of financial institutions, and the importance of timely interventions. It seeks to outline some of the main lessons from financial crises and emphasizes the need for robust frameworks to prevent future crises. © 2027 selection and editorial matter, Sebastián Royo, Ewa Miklaszewska, and Giovanni Ferri.
