Product Details
- John Kenneth Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse. Arguing that the 1929 stock market crash was precipitated by rampant speculation in the stock market, Galbraith notes that the common denominator of all speculative episodes is the belief of participants that they can become rich without work. It was Galbraith's belief that a good knowledge of what happened in 1929 was the best safeguard against its recurrence. Atlantic Monthly wrote, Economic writings are seldom notable for their entertainment value, but this book is. Galbraith's prose has grace and wit, and he distills a good deal of sardonic fun from the whopping errors of the nation's oracles and the wondrous antics of the financial community.

Economic Conditions Editorial Review
The Great Crash 1929: John Kenneth Galbraiths Classic Economic History of Stock Market Speculation is an insightful exploration of the lead-up to the catastrophic market crash. Galbraith's narrative style makes the book engaging and accessible, blending economic analysis with vivid anecdotes from the period. Readers find that the discussions on financial leverage and public sentiment are particularly relevant today, as parallels are drawn between the 1929 crash and the 2008 financial crisis. This classic work not only describes the dynamics of the market during the Great Depression but also offers a timeless warning about the cycles of speculation and financial irresponsibility that can ensnare both investors and public officials alike.
