"Were one transported back in time a quarter century to the height of the dot-com bubble, one could have cleaved the suckers from the survivors by asking them if the had read John Kenneth Galbraith’s The Great Crash 1929…To that canon add Mark Higgins’ Investing in U.S. Financial History."

Publisher's Weekly
