The Crash of '87...and Maybe the Next One

Worries about another stock market crash keep ratcheting higher. Back in 1987, I had a close-up view of a previous crash. If and when there’s a next one, in many ways it won’t look like 1987, and in many ways it no doubt will.

Well, here’s one way it won’t be the same. I wrote this in a story that appeared on Friday, October 23, 1987 – the end of a wild week that started with a market meltdown that

Quotes by Kevin Maney  (?)

“The human brain has a mechanism for dealing with data overload. It forgets. If indeed we’re on a path to building machines that think like us, how ironic if the next great invention in computer memory turns out to be forgetting.”
Kevin Maney, Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company

“Maybe that’s why we did things so fast,” said Jerrier Haddad, a managing engineer on the 701. “We didn’t have schedules to slow us down.”
Kevin Maney, Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company

“...A well-written, well-organized book packages the author's brain. It is the purest, richest, most complete way to take what's inside one person's brain and move it into another person's brain...As long as society finds it valuable to consume the stories, research, and thoughts of its intellectual leaders, the basic idea of the book should endure. Paper books will get pressured by electronic versions over time, but the art form should remain vital.”
Kevin Maney, Trade-Off: Why Some Things Catch On, and Others Don't
