Abstract
?When confidence is lost, liquidity dries up.? The authors investigate the meaning of ?confidence? and ?liquidity? in the context of the recent financial crisis, which they maintain is a manifestation of an age-old problem with private money creation: banking panics. The authors explain this problem and provide some evidence with respect to the recent crisis.
