Professor Elam

Here is a review of this title by William Klingaman

rom Publishers Weekly
The year 1929 saw both the peak of roaring-'20s prosperity and the stock market collapse that led to the Great Depression, when a third of the U.S. work force was unemployed. With vivid narrative and anecdotal profiles of such diverse characters as Herbert Hoover, Al Capone, Joseph P. Kennedy, the Marx Brothers, F. Scott Fitzgerald and J. P. Morgan, Klingaman ( 1919 ; 1941 ) shows that the same "mob psychology" that "had borne the bull market to irrational heights" eventually dragged stock prices far below inherent value. RCA, for example, plunged from 110 to 26. Ostentatious wealth, Prohibition gang wars, deadly labor suppression, political corruption, bank and brokerage wipeouts and margin-loan suicides: all are seen here as part of an economic and government failure that preceded the rise of Adolf Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

I put crash of 1929 into amazon under books and got six interesting titles.

How about exploring the Bretton Woods Monetary Agreement at the end of WW II? Do you know what that is, check it out

How about the decline and fall of GM?

Hmm, how much longer will msft hold sway, the stock has gone nowhere for years

How about the Panic of 1907, a great book

How about the creation of  the Euro?

HOw about the financial center now growing in Dubai?

yet I am still getting mediocre titles submitted better suited for say high school like Who Stole My Cheese

This is college, we can do better….
