À propos de cet audio

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“It is one of the best narrative histories I’ve read.”
—The Wall Street Journal

A New York Times Notable Book of 2025 • Named a BEST BOOK OF 2025 by TIME, The Economist, Air Mail, and Bloomberg

From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, “the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,” (The Atlantic) comes a riveting narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history—one with ripple effects that still shape our society today.

In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin.

With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naïveté in an endless boom led to disaster. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again.

This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that this time is different. It’s about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late.

Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.

Simply Superb

Mr. Sorkin has taken an eminently dry topic and made it as palatable as possible by telling the story of the crash and subsequent depression of the stock market and economy of the late 20’s and 30’s through the personal lives and experiences of the main players. His research for this book must have been exhaustive to say the least, which adds back a bit of dryness to the narrative. Mr. Sorkin has chosen to read the book himself somewhat at his own peril. He has a pleasant voice and excellent diction however his deep familiarity and emotional connection to the material causes him to read every event with great emphasis and significance so that while I was expecting a great reveal around every corner, more often than not many of his insights ended up being anticlimactic as a result. I always select books read by their authors with some trepidation as it works out that this is the case at least fifty percent of the time.
Overall it is a great book and I highly recommend it.

Fabulous Detail

First...ty Mr Sorkin for being the reader. You have a great voice...you sound like Terry O'Reilly on his CBC radio show.
Now. For all of you who love history unfolding in human terms, and you never got around to learning Economics 101 but wondered about some common terms....this book is for you.
I loved it and have revised my view of many things.

surprisingly wonderful.
