1929 REVISITED: Wall Street's Crash, Its Echoes, and the Lessons We Missed
The Warning Everyone Ignored. The Crisis Everyone Repeated. The Pattern Still Unfolding.
In March 1928, Federal Reserve architect Paul Warburg issued a stark warning: unchecked speculation would trigger a catastrophic collapse and national depression. Wall Street mocked him. The media destroyed his reputation. Nineteen months later, the Great Depression proved him devastatingly right-but vindication came too late.
This is the story of that crash. And every crash since.
What This Book Reveals:
📊 The Complete 1929 Timeline: Day-by-day account from January 1928's euphoria through October 1929's Black Tuesday to the 1933 bottom-with inflation-adjusted figures showing the crash was worse than most realize.
🏦 The Players and Their Dynasties: Where are the Morgans, Rockefellers, Mellons, and Kennedys today? How did market manipulators like Charles Mitchell escape justice while Paul Warburg died broken?
🔄 The Regulatory Sine Wave: Why financial regulation follows 30-year cycles-and why we're currently in the deregulation phase before the next crisis.
🧠 The Psychology of Forgetting: Neuroscience explains why humans are biologically incapable of learning from financial history. Fear extinction, dopamine tolerance, and generational amnesia guarantee we repeat the cycle.
💰 Modern Parallels That Should Terrify You:
- 1920s investment trusts = 2020s private equity (same leverage, bigger scale)
- 1920s pool operators = 2020s crypto influencers (same fraud, blockchain wrapper)
- 1920s bucket shops = 2020s Robinhood (same gamification of destruction)
- 1929's -89% crash = 2027's ??? (all the warning signs are flashing red)
Direct Comparisons: 1929 vs. 2008 vs. 2020
Comprehensive appendices compare three major crises across dozens of metrics:
- Leverage ratios (worse now than 1929)
- Wealth inequality (approaching 1929 levels)
- Government intervention capacity (nearly exhausted)
- Moral hazard (maximized-everyone expects rescue)
Why This Time ISN'T Different
Every bubble claims "new era," "new paradigm," "this time is different." They said it in 1929 ("permanently high plateau"). They said it in 2008 ("housing never falls nationally"). They're saying it now ("Fed put is permanent").
It's never different. The pattern is identical. Only the scale increases.
Perfect For:
- ✅ Investors seeking to avoid repeating history
- ✅ Economics students studying financial crises
- ✅ Policy makers understanding regulatory capture
- ✅ History buffs fascinated by the 1920s-1930s era
- ✅ Anyone who suspects the next crash is coming
The ghost of 1929 is trying to warn you. Will you listen this time?
(Spoiler: History says no. But maybe you'll be the exception.)
