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.

Best teaching video

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.

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.
