Andrew Ross Sorkin’s immersive history of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 is as riveting as it is provocative. Readers follow the key players in their day-to-day risk-taking activities, their bad decision-making, and dire missteps. They will see crises on the horizon and how the fallout will ignite the Great Depression.
Sorkin has the credentials to put together this lesson in advanced economics. His previous work “Too Big to Fail,” released in 2010, was a bestseller, called an “extraordinary achievement,” and was the basis for the HBO movie of the same name.
