The Great Crash 1929

Of Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse, the Atlantic Monthly said: "Economic writings are seldom notable for their entertainment value, but this book is. Galbraith's prose has grace and wit, and he distills a good deal of sardonic fun from the whopping errors of the nation's oracles and the wondrous antics of the financial community." nbsp;Originally published in 1955, Galbraith's book has risen once again as Americans look for perspective on the current global financial crisis.nbsp; This new edition will be published on the 80th anniversary of the Great Crash with a new introduction by the author's son, economist, James K. Galbraith.nbsp; He is the author ofThe Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too.
