Summary

John Kenneth Galbraith， one of America's foremost economists， follows the incredible economic rise and fall that lead to the great crash of 1929

No account of the financial insanity of 1929 has been issued in a form at once so readable， so humorous， and so carefully authenticated as this classic book。 J。K。 Galbraith examines the 'gold rush fantasy' in American psychology and describes its dire consequences。 The Florida land boom， the operations of Insull， Kreuger and Hatry， and the fabulous Shenandoah Corporation all come together in this penetrating study of concerted human greed and folly。 From the cold figures of Wall Street the author wrenches a truly human drama。

This book explores the 1929 financial crash of the New York Stock Exchange （and other markets） from the viewpoint of both the mid-1950s， and then again from the crash of the markets in 1987。 The book was revised in this latter date to look how new market trends could play out。 Obviously in the last 15 years， we've had new understandings of all this in various way。 Even today， thinking about cryptocurrency and things like Gamespot have shifted the landscape puts a lot of these lessons in jeopardy This book explores the 1929 financial crash of the New York Stock Exchange （and other markets） from the viewpoint of both the mid-1950s， and then again from the crash of the markets in 1987。 The book was revised in this latter date to look how new market trends could play out。 Obviously in the last 15 years， we've had new understandings of all this in various way。 Even today， thinking about cryptocurrency and things like Gamespot have shifted the landscape puts a lot of these lessons in jeopardy。 The book itself is mostly a solid， straight history of the months leading up to the collapse of the stock exchange， a setting straight of misunderstandings， misreading， and myths， and then a clear straightforward reckoning of cause and effect。 Not being a money guy myself， some stray thoughts。 ~~Bad actors and idiots will always try to corrupt a system in order to make money fast， screw things up on purpose， or cheat。 ~~ Some of that is baked into the system。 ~~ Speculation is legalized gambling。 ~~Loopholes are usually on purpose。 ~~It's "hilarious" that one person's right to get rich can cause huge suffering for many others！ 。。。more

Very slow read as the prose was hard to capture， but it was concise and precise， a precious bit of economic literature and everything I wanted in a book about the Crash of 1929。 He devotes one chapter to the depression that followed， but even then his few paragraphs were spot on in his reference to the potential impact of a 'balance sheet shock' that caused GDP to nose dive。 Very slow read as the prose was hard to capture， but it was concise and precise， a precious bit of economic literature and everything I wanted in a book about the Crash of 1929。 He devotes one chapter to the depression that followed， but even then his few paragraphs were spot on in his reference to the potential impact of a 'balance sheet shock' that caused GDP to nose dive。 。。。more

Must read for all crypto-believersIn a fine writing style Galbraith describes and analyzes the crash of 1929。 The similarities with the current crypto-craze are revealing。

I'm happy that today's financial writers are more engaging。 Although page 139's description about the "meeting which is called not to do business but to do no business" is pure gold。 That single page almost made the book for me。 However， it had nothing to do with the crash of 1929。 I'm happy that today's financial writers are more engaging。 Although page 139's description about the "meeting which is called not to do business but to do no business" is pure gold。 That single page almost made the book for me。 However， it had nothing to do with the crash of 1929。 。。。more

Authoritative and readable account。 JK Galbraith is a scathingly funny economic historian。

One of the best books on the events that led to Great collapse of the stock market。 It gives a good analysis of the reasons and also a clear picture of the timeline of events。 A must read for anyone who wants to learn about how the World was overtaken by greed。

It is a quick account of the stock market bubble and crash in 1929， although I think it suffers by now。 Its denouement， connecting the crash to the Depression， is too short and under theorized。 The prose shows its age as it expects us to know certain characters and exploits already （esp。 Kreuger）。 Still， it's quick， the points about our country's character and human frailty in this industry and government are all still valid and explain its enduring appeal。 It is a quick account of the stock market bubble and crash in 1929， although I think it suffers by now。 Its denouement， connecting the crash to the Depression， is too short and under theorized。 The prose shows its age as it expects us to know certain characters and exploits already （esp。 Kreuger）。 Still， it's quick， the points about our country's character and human frailty in this industry and government are all still valid and explain its enduring appeal。 。。。more

tI didn’t learn as much as I wanted to from this book。 Galbraith was a noted applied economist that cut his teeth in his early career working in one of FDR’s “New Deal” alphabet soup agencies， then later as an economic advisor to JFK during his presidential administration。 His survey of the great depression is not analytic at all， it’s mostly a historical recounting of the day-by-day/week-by-week sequence of events that occurred right before the 1929 crash。 tIf I needed to summarize the picture tI didn’t learn as much as I wanted to from this book。 Galbraith was a noted applied economist that cut his teeth in his early career working in one of FDR’s “New Deal” alphabet soup agencies， then later as an economic advisor to JFK during his presidential administration。 His survey of the great depression is not analytic at all， it’s mostly a historical recounting of the day-by-day/week-by-week sequence of events that occurred right before the 1929 crash。 tIf I needed to summarize the picture Galbraith paints for this time-period， it is of a blissful naivete of the wider population。 The other part of that summary is the constant “desire to get rich” exhibited by “most” Americans。 According to Galbraith， there were several manifestations of this drive including a real-estate boom in Florida， w/ developers selling parcels of land to people who had no idea what they were buying， often with false or misleading advertisements on the properties location， amenities， and the general nature of the land。 tOverall Galbraith describes a business community， government， and general population that apparently could not conceive that they were living in a bubble （which clearly is a hallmark of a bubble， being a large percentage of suckers left holding the bag）。 Though in this case， effectively everyone but an exceedingly small minority were bag holders。 Though not mentioned by Galbraith， the general population at this time was mesmerized by the notion of “boosterism”， a sort of strange philosophy of constantly talking-up something， whether that be your family， company， town， city， nation etc。 This kind of irrational positivity accounts for Galbraiths observation that volume for trades were consistently high during this period of time， meaning that conviction was high among market participants。 A good book to understand Boosterism （at least in a satirical light） is Sinclar Lewis’ “Babbit”。 tFor a modern audience that is looking to “get something practical” about these kinds of tail-events， one thing to pay attention in Galbraith’s description of the day-by-day sequence is to note how non-monotonic the crash really was， and how conviction / sentiment did not all-at-once collapse。 It came in waves， and as Galbraith pointed out there was at least one major reversal where the market gained back almost it’s entire loss from the start of the event， but ultimately， “the longs” ended up eating it in the end。 Though Galbraith was probably not a chartists， these kinds of things can broadly be viewed as chart-patterns， and although I’m not a master of this craft， one reason why depressions/recessions are so challenging to time and play is that no one recessionary event seems to be very identical in trajectory/path to the other。 The latest recession being exemplar to that dictum， having not only been exceedingly sharp， but also exceedingly short （contrary to many expert prognostication）。 tI will be totally honest that much of this book flew over me， because of the distance in time， it was hard to contextualize many of the things Galbraith was talking about in terms of the companies and trends of the days he describes。 What made the contextualization harder is that Galbraith speaks at length about the mentality/policies of both President Coolidge and President Hoover， which I am mostly ignorant of in any true detail， and thus it’s hard for me to adjudicate the veracity of his analysis on their actions （or inactions in the case of Coolidge）。 I will have to read this again with more purposefulness。 My current feeling is that for practitioners， there isn’t much “here” in terms of practical information。 I feel it is more useful than “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” because Galbraith has a logical time-sequence organization to the information。 The almost total lack of Galbraith in supplying a central theory proposing reasons or governing principles on why people were acting the way they were （other than they were irrational）， makes knowledge retention challenging for me。 What may help is reading other books about this event， and then re-reading this book。 I will update this review after doing so。 However， I can only say it is currently a conditional recommendation at this moment。 A good history。 Though， would benefit from charts/visuals/theories/analytic structure etc。 t 。。。more

Es una excelente crónica de la burbuja especulativa que antecedió al crack de 1929。 De igual forma， expone con gran claridad el entramado institucional al interior de los mercados financieros que alimentó a dicha burbuja y que al colapsar， arrastró a todo el mercado consigo。Todo ello con una pluma espectacular。

When I was in college at Harvard many years ago， Galbraith， who was one of our professors， was a revered elder statesman， famous to most of us a popularizer of economics with books such as The Affluent Society and The New Industrial State。 He was also seen as a bit of a fossil， someone from the old generation who had been superseded by the newer breed of mathematical economists， like Ken Arrow， also then a Harvard professor who had just won the Nobel Prize。 Now a lot of the mathematical stuff se When I was in college at Harvard many years ago， Galbraith， who was one of our professors， was a revered elder statesman， famous to most of us a popularizer of economics with books such as The Affluent Society and The New Industrial State。 He was also seen as a bit of a fossil， someone from the old generation who had been superseded by the newer breed of mathematical economists， like Ken Arrow， also then a Harvard professor who had just won the Nobel Prize。 Now a lot of the mathematical stuff seems like pseudoscience， so maybe it's time to give Galbraith a fresh reading。This book is a pretty standard history of the events and causes of the Great Depression。 There are a lot of details that I didn't know， but not much of the bigger picture stuff that was new to me。 To be fair to Galbraith， that may be because much of his version of this history has become canonical。 There was， of course， a huge speculative bubble， which was made bigger and longer by the then unregulated structure of the American financial system。 There were the huge amounts of securities bought on margin with insufficient collateral to support margin calls in a crash， and there were unregulated banks who aided and abetted the speculation and who didn't have deposit insurance or the assets to back their speculations when nevervous depositors decided that it was time to get their money out。 And of course there was the do nothing Coolidge admnistration that let the speculation go on too long and the do nothing Hoover admnistration that sat idly by as the problems compounded and the country sank deeper and deeper into depression。 Galbraith is optimistic that a risk of repetition of the Great Depression is reduced substantially by the post crash regulations and safety valves that are now built into the system， though I wonder if he would still see those things as being effective today。 And of course there is now general acceptance of massive spending as a way to cushion economic shocks。 But Galbraith also points out that we will always have speculative bubbles and that there is always danger when the bubbles burst。 The edition of this book that I read came on the heels of the 1987 market crash so Galbraith was able to comment on how the lessons of the Great Depression played out in 1987。 I would have loved to see what he would have said about 2008 and about the blows that COVID is currently delivering to the economy。 。。。more

The book barely scratches the surface of what happened in the years before 1929， I was hoping to get more insight into mechanisms that led to the catastrophe and data about when - from a retrospective - things started to tilt。To be fair， data from that time might be scarce， so the book feels more like a recount of things than an analysis。This might be a good read for somebody who wants to get an overview of what happened， but will not enlighten people that want to dig a little deeper。
