Amity Shlaes

Harper Perennial, 2008

Re-invention of History
I hold degrees in History, Political Science and Economics. As a consequence I was motivated to buy this book. BIG mistake. After a few chapters I remembered where I had encountered the author before. She is an extremely conservative economist, (at least an economic ...

The Great Crash 1929

John Kenneth Galbraith

Mariner Books, 1997

Spooky
I started reading this book the day before the most recent crash started. Every night I picked it up, and it mirrored the current events so closely, that it was more than a little scary. Why won't we learn from the mistakes of the past?
