"In this book, John Brooks - who was one of the most elegant of all business writers - perfectly catches the flavor of one of history`s best-known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks. It`s packed with parallels and parables for the modern reader."
From the Foreword by Richard Lambert Editor-in-Chief, The Financial Times
Once in Golconda is a dramatic chronicle of the breathtaking rise, devastating fall, and painstaking rebirth of Wall Street in the years between the wars. Focusing on the lives and fortunes of some of the era`s most memorable traders, bankers, boosters, and frauds, John Brooks brings to vivid life all the ruthlessness, greed, and reckless euphoria of the 20s bull market, the desperation of the days leading up to the crash of 29, and the bitterness of the years that followed.Посмотрите также...
