Of Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse, the Atlantic Monthly said:"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." Now, with the stock market riding historic highs, the celebrated economist returns with new insights on the legacy of our past and the consequences of blind optimism and power plays within the financial community.

  • Short and lucid description of the biggest stock market crash of the 20th century, with many similarities to what is happening in 2008-2009. Which does not have to mean that the 2008-2009 (or 2001-2009) market turmoil is going to end up just as badly.
