Good history. If you’re into economics (I’m not) you’ll love this book. Very well written

[Patricia Johnson]

I learned a lot on this very informative book on the history of our economy beginning in the late 1800s. It describes how bankers & stock brokers manipulated the markets, causes of the "CRASH" and the forming of holding companies that built individual wealth. How the "NEW DEAL" affected business expansion and labor and the affects of WW II on industry, the Depression and government growth.

Very informative. I enjoyed it.

The corruption by business, individuals and government is the same now as it was 100 years ago
