A review by justfoxie
The Great Crash of 1929 by John Kenneth Galbraith

5.0

A truly fantastic book - comprehensive, yet not overly long, well reasoned, yet not obscure and highly, highly relevent given the state of the markets today. If you want to start understanding the current financial system, start here. We still have lessons to learn.

Bonus points: we found our copy (from 1956) in the book market in Amsterdam a year ago. The only English book in the stack and in quite good condition, we decided it was meant to be.
