Good book, well written. Focuses on the bankers and people who brought on the crash, the aftermath and the laws and institutions put into place to prevent another one.
As technology made farming more efficient and less dependent on physical labor, huge numbers of farmworkers fell into economic distress, along with the towns they lived in, creating a widening gulf between the urban haves and the rural have-nots. Wall Street became like a giant balloon floating above the common people, its self-mythologizing leaders enjoying the comforts of what felt like a privileged realm. Government took little notice, as an extreme form of laissez-faire reigned in Washington.
Very good book to read for any market investors, especially right now. There are many similarities.

As a Gen X’er, I grew up in the analog era, and I retain both the right and the skill to return to it.

Remembering The Family Kitchen Phone
Tell me you had a kitchen phone with a super-long, curly cord so you could stretch it into the next room for some privacy without telling me…
What a little piece of nostalgia. I love this thing.
Bonus points if the kitchen phone was the only phone in the house. Super Bonus points if you had to deal with a party line.

Set in the same world as The Girl With All The Gifts, but along a different timeline. Again, a good story that made me think about it while I wasn’t reading it. The end has a great 20 years later Epilogue that ties back in with Melanie. I won’t say anymore, but it’s a great ending to a very good book.
