Book details
How a boom unraveled into crisis
In 1929, Andrew Ross Sorkin revisits the cascade of choices and chances that built the most notorious stock market bubble in American history. From bucket shops and call loans to the glamorous parties where confidence was currency, he follows the human impulses that drove prices higher while blind spots widened.
The narrative moves from boardrooms to trading floors as leverage mounts and protections fail. Recognizable names appear, but the focus stays on how ideas spread, why warnings were dismissed, and what ordinary investors believed right up to the moment the tape turned red.
Told with the clarity of a reporter and the pacing of a true-life drama, the audiobook traces the break in euphoria and the ripple effects that reshaped Wall Street and households far from it, setting standards and habits that echo into the present.
