There's a fantastic book that just came out in ... 1954 ... that I'd highly recommend. John Kenneth Galbraith's The Great Crash, 1929. https://www.worldcat.org/title/great-crash-1929/oclc/3136579... The tech and land booms of the time involved Florida real estate, railroads (a/k/a airlines), airlines (actual aircraft involved), "Radio" (RCA), new alternative energy source and distribution plays, and of course, Goldman Sachs. I'd first read it following the 2007-8 global financial crisis. It's still relevant now. Short, highly readable, entertaining, and informative. |
