The Great Crash of 1929John Kenneth Galbraith
$14.00(USD)
Of Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse, the Atlantic Monthly said:"Economic writings are seldom notable for their entertainment value, but this book is. Galbraith's prose has grace and wit, and he distills a good deal of sardonic fun from the whopping errors of the nation's oracles and the wondrous antics of the financial community." Now, with the stock market riding historic highs, the celebrated economist returns with new insights on the legacy of our past and the consequences of blind optimism and power plays within the financial community.

The World in Depression, 1929-1939, Revised and Enlarged edition (History of the World Economy in the Twentieth Century)Charles P. Kindleberger
$25.95(USD)
""The World in Depression is the best book on the subject, and the subject, in turn, is the economically decisive decade of the century so far."--John Kenneth Galbraith
Rainbow's End: The Crash of 1929Maury Klein
$17.95(USD)
The first major history of the Crash in over a decade, Rainbow's End tells the story of the stock market collapse in a colorful, swift-moving narrative that blends a vivid portrait of the 1920s with an intensely gripping account of Wall Street's greatest catastrophe.
The book offers a vibrant picture of a world full of plungers, powerful bankers, corporate titans, millionaire brokers, and buoyantly optimistic stock market bulls. We meet Sunshine Charley Mitchell, head of the National City Bank, powerful financiers Jack Morgan and Jacob Schiff, Wall Street manipulators such as the legendary Jesse Livermore, and the lavish-living Billy Durant, founder of General Motors. As Klein follows the careers of these men, he shows us how the financial house of cards gradually grew taller, as the irrational exuberance of an earlier age gripped America and convinced us that the market would continue to rise forever. Then, in October 1929, came a "perfect storm"-like convergence of factors that shook Wall Street to its foundations. We relive Black Thursday, when police lined Wall Street, brokers grew hysterical, customers "bellowed like lunatics," and the ticker tape fell hours behind. This is followed by the even worse Bloody Tuesday, when an irrational desire to sell at any price gripped the market and even blue chip stocks plummeted precariously.
This compelling history of the Crash--the first to follow the market closely for the two years leading up to the disaster--illuminates a major turning point in our history.
Give Me Love: Songs of the Brokenhearted - Baghdad, 1925-1929Various Artists
$19.98(USD)
Honest Jon's has spent the last eighteen months delving through more than 150,000 78 rpm records in the extensive EMI Archives at Hayes, Middlesex. The results of this trawl can be heard on the Hayes Archive series, an epic 12 albums covering early recordings of music from Iraq, Turkey, Caucasia, the Lebanon, Greece, Iran (including sides made in Old Street, London, in 1909), Egypt and the Belgian Congo. The 12 volumes will be released according to the standards of HJ's esteemed London Is The Place For Me series - with full notes, translations where possible, and wonderful artwork. A giddy summer sampler will run organ rolls from Georgia alongside Tamils impersonating motorised transport in 1906, Kabyle music from Algeria into the songs of Bengali beggars mambos from 1950s Beirut against the Imperial Palace Band of Japan in 1903.
1929Frederick Turner
$16.95(USD)
Paperback: 400 pages Publisher: Counterpoint Press (May 1, 2004) Language: English ISBN: 1582433097 Product Dimensions: 8.0 x 5.3 x 1.1 inches If the primary "function" of a historical novel is to completely transport readers back in time--and the more accurate and natural the transportation the better, of course--then this extraordinary first novel has to be accorded first-rate status within the genre. The world into which the reader is willingly, even lovingly, pulled is to some extent given away by the book's title: America in the late 1920s, when bootleg booze and red-hot jazz could be sought in almost any speakeasy in any burg big or small across the country. And that is exactly the smoky, syncopated environment Turner graphically and even elegiacally conjures in this fictional account of the life of Bix Beiderbecke, famous jazz coronet player. Bix, who was white, lived a short and burn-the-candle-at-both-ends life. But he is remembered by jazz aficionados--and is here remembered very distinctly by a man who knew him, Herman Weiss, the road manager of one of the bands with which Bix played. Herman ushers in the story of Bix as if playing the role of James Boswell to Bix's Samuel Johnson, but from the vantage point of "his [own] obscure life on the fringes of the Bix phenomenon." These years were the Roaring Twenties, of course, "crazy times, unprecedented times in which nobody knew what was going to happen next and few seemed to care." Al Capone and Bing Crosby make appearances here, as do many other actual figures, all of them anchoring Turner's beautifully styled narrative to real events. Bix's was a meteoric life, caught here in full flame.
