Over the past fifty years, Britain's economy has experienced a series of crises, including a collapsing pound, spiraling oil prices, near-rationing of electricity, and more. Despite these challenges, the economy has managed to survive or at least it has done until now. Veteran financial journalist William Keegan has witnessed these events firsthand, from the 1967 devaluation to the three-day week, Black Wednesday, and the global financial crash of 2007-08.

In a career spanning Fleet Street to the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street and back again, Keegan has nurtured connections with Chancellors of the Exchequer, Governors of the Bank of England, influential economists, and Fleet Street legends.

Now, in this lively and comprehensive account, Keegan takes us on a tumultuous journey through the past fifty years of British economic history and explains why Brexit poses the biggest existential threat the economy has yet faced.

Nine Crises is peppered with anecdotes and memories from Keegan's illustrious career, offering a fresh insight into Britain's past, present, and future for economic experts and novices alike.
