{"product_id":"ten-years-of-wall-street-9781602069626","title":"Ten Years of Wall Street","description":"The stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression did not occur in a vacuum: their roots lie in economic events that occurred over the previous ten years. This book performs a financial autopsy on the \"speculative decade\" from 1919 to 1929, exploring the ruinous aftermath of World War I-in which war debts were contested and battles over reparations set the stage for a difficult international monetary situation-as well as the natural waxing and waning of economic cycles and the processes and procedures of stock exchanges that contributed to disaster. Written by a lawyer and emphasizing a legal perspective on the workings of a complex economy, this classic work of high finance offers a unique panorama on an important era of American history that is often overlooked. BARNIE F. WINKELMAN (b. 1894) also wrote Modern Chess (1931) and John D Rockefeller (1937), among other books.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359196582162,"sku":"9781602069626","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_39ea1c30-9d62-42ae-bb7c-c82f92ea78e2.jpg?v=1728352344","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/ten-years-of-wall-street-9781602069626","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
