1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin
The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and Themselves
1929 examines the run‑up to the 1929 stock market crash and its immediate fallout, showing how unchecked optimism, speculation, and fraud turned a booming market into sudden collapse and widespread economic ruin. Through portraits of financiers, regulators, and everyday people, it explores the human motives, political conflicts, and ignored warning signs behind the crash, and highlights recurring patterns in financial crises without revealing plot details.
