6.The Great Crash of 1929The Great Crash of 1929
from Mariner Books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
Gailbraith's book is an insightful and witty history of the Great Crash of 1929. Though written years ago it seems as if it could have been written yestereday and there are many parallels of course with the economic "meltdown" that is going on around us.

from John Wiley & Sons Inc

Customer Review:
This book is compendious and at times dry but immensely illuminating. As I write this, the U.S. and the world are descending into what looks like a very ugly economic time; Manias, Panics, and Crashes will make you think it was written for this very crisis, when that's sadly the point: the same... more info

from Random House
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I don't think Samuelson knows what he is talking about. He is not an economist, although one could easily get the impression that he is from the book. But, I'm not one either. Nevertheless, despite his occasional denials, the reader quickly gets the impression that inflation has been THE story of... more info

from Wiley
Price: $18.85

Customer Review:
Gotta say I am surprised on this one. After reading the reviews I bought the book, and started off pretty saddened with the content.
There is no history to the crisis, and by all accounts the authors seem to figure it was triggered by the SF earthquake, but without any context or data it is... more info
