[ddj] Looking for Bank failure tracker

Wed Dec 21 13:48:01 UTC 2011

Anders,
if interested in more historical data and assessment, the most
extensive book on the topic of financial folly and failure is this
one:

This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly,
by Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff.

Might even be a good idea to track the authors down and ask for
additional data about your topic. For a a very scientific book I like
the tongue in cheek title here.

Regards,
Mirko
