““Studying what happened in the past is a valuable tool for politicians, researchers, and people throughout finance and business as they try to make sense of what is happening and plan for future recovery. . . . This is where newspapers like the Financial Times can help. It has charted finance and business news around the world since its launch in 1888. Being a daily newspaper, it also provides context, such as who were the prime ministers and presidents at the time, as well as any conflicts, business scandals and political uncertainties.””
