In 1929 there were few critics of the stock market; it seemed to rise without limits. In fact, presidents and economists alike confidently predicted that America would soon enter a "New Era" when everyone could be rich. But when reality finally struck, the consequences of such unbound optimism shocked the world.

Required viewing for everyone
Review by Snork on 12/21/20 review stating Required viewing for everyone
This program should be required viewing by everyone, especially our elected officials and those managing financial institutions. If you closed your eyes, you would think they were talking about 2005-2008.

Wall Street lays more eggs.
Review by David on 12/21/20 review stating Wall Street lays more eggs.
A rare previously broadcast gem that recent events has compelled its resurgence. A cautionary tale that underscores the perils and pitfalls that greed and fear are the true competing engines driving and, in turn, are driven by the need to excel. In a sense, a real life melodrama whose end results hurt the audience, ultimately.

I have been using a worn video of this to teach my students and am thrilled it is now available again, on DVD. Lucid, vivid, terrific overview.
