Stock Market Meltdowns That Defined a Nation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This economic and cultural history reveals how five significant stock market crashes in the past century define the modern United States.

The Panic of 19071929: Black Tuesday1987: Black Monday2008: The Great Recession2010: The Flash Crash

Each of these financial implosions that caused a catastrophic drop in the American stock market is a remarkable story in its own right filled with drama, human foibles, and heroic rescues. Taken together they tell the larger story of a nation reaching enormous heights of financial power while experiencing precipitous dips that alter and reset a market where millions of Americans invest their savings, and on which they depend for their futures. Financial expert Scott Nations vividly shows how each of these major crashes played a role in America's political and cultural fabric, each providing painful lessons that have strengthened us and helped us to build the nation we know today.

A History of the United States in Five Crashes clearly and compellingly illustrates the connections between these major financial collapses and examines the solid, clear-cut lessons they offer for preventing the next one.
