The Great Crash 1929

John Kenneth Galbraith's definitive account dissects the 1929 financial collapse, arguing that rampant speculation—fueled by the belief in acquiring wealth without effort—was the primary catalyst. Galbraith contends that understanding these historical forces is essential to safeguarding against future economic crises. Praised by *Atlantic Monthly* for its "grace and wit," the book offers "sardonic fun" in its examination of financial errors and antics.
