About this listen

The New York Times best seller that tells the story of an overheated stock market and the financial disaster that led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

A riveting living history about Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929. Captures the era, the intoxicating expectancy, the hope that ruled men's heart and minds before the bubble burst and the black despair of the decade that followed.

I ended up very addicted to this, and despite not being sure to what extent the stories were embellished, I know I have learned more via this format than from a dry and formal explanation of the crash could have given me.

Absolutely loved this

I Enjoyed every minute. So interesting learning of the people of the time and their journey thru the boom and collapse. This is a story about the people, not a technical piece of work.

Fascinating
