Once In Golconda by John Brooks
A True Drama of Wall Street, 1920-1938
A vivid portrait of Wall Street during the roaring 1920s through the Great Depression, tracing the rise and collapse of speculative fortunes and the personalities who shaped and were undone by the market’s excesses; the book blends reportage, character sketches and insider anecdotes to show how greed, optimism, insider maneuvering and a fragile faith in ever-rising prices produced a spectacular boom and a devastating crash, and it explores the human costs, institutional failures and lessons about risk, hubris and regulation that followed.
