In 1929, America danced on the edge of a golden dream. Jazz filled the air, fortunes grew overnight, and Wall Street was the beating heart of a nation intoxicated by prosperity. Then ? in a single week ? everything fell apart. Banks failed, investments vanished, and the illusion of endless growth was shattered forever.
When Wall Street Collapsed pulls you into the fever of the 1920s, exposing the high-stakes world of ambition, hubris, and reckless speculation. Evelyn Hawthorne vividly captures how ordinary Americans were swept into a whirlwind of buying on margin, overconfidence, and debt-fueled euphoria. She shows how these same forces ? greed, excessive leverage, and blind faith in rising markets ? are echoing today in tech bubbles, crypto manias, and record consumer debt.
Through riveting storytelling and clear economic insight, this book bridges history and the modern financial world. It reveals the psychology of fear and greed, the domino effect of leverage, and the fragile confidence that sustains markets until it abruptly collapses. From Wall Street tycoons to everyday investors, readers will see the human cost of financial bubbles and the stark lessons history offers.
Whether you're an investor seeking to understand market cycles, a student of economic history, or someone simply curious about the hidden forces shaping today's financial landscape, this book offers clarity, caution, and perspective.
