1929 : Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History-and How It Shattered a Nation
Andrew Ross Sorkin’s 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation traces the collapse of the late 1920s stock market with the narrative gravity of a courtroom chronicle and the immediacy of a newsroom dispatch. It situates the crash not as an isolated event but as the culmination of a decade’s political looseness, exuberant speculation, and intricate financial interdependencies. The book casts a wide net, weaving together bankers, brokers, politicians, and ordinary investors to show how their decisions amplified risk and eroded trust. Sorkin’s account foregrounds the human calculations behind market moves, revealing how optimism can masquerade as prudence and how fear can metastasize into panic. He also elucidates the regulatory and structural failures that allowed unchecked leverage and opaque instruments to proliferate. As a historical document, it dissects the social and economic fallout that followed the crash, including unemployment, bank runs, and the erosion of public faith in economic institutions. The narrative blends investigative detail with brisk pacing, treating economic data as character testimony in a larger drama of collapse. In its measured rigor and morally inflected storytelling, the book reframes 1929 as a hinge moment that reshaped American policy, finance, and collective memory.

“It is one of the best narrative histories I’ve read.” —Judge Glock, The Wall Street Journal Named a Most Anticipated Book by New York Times Books Review, TIME, Washington Post, Associated Press, Town & Country, New York Post, and more 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.

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 naivete 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.
