1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History โ€” and How It Shattered a Nation

by Andrew Ross Sorkin

"Last week I had a great conversation with @andrewrsorkin about his great new book, 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History โ€” and How It Shattered a Nation. In it we explored the ways in which "history rhymes", what we can learn from the cause-effect relationships that drive debt bubbles and crashes, and what is relevant now. If you're interested in hearing us discuss what some of the lessons of history are that are especially relevant today, you can hear our conversation here. I also can highly recommend his book which is thoroughly entertaining, educational, and provides a helpful perspective for thinking about what's now happening and what to do about it.
