The Great Crash of 1929 violently disrupted the United States'
confident march toward becoming the world's superpower. The
suddenness of the cataclysm and the long duration of the collapse
scarred generations of Americans. A Rabble of Dead Money is a lucid
and fast-paced account that pulls together the intricate threads of
policy, ideology, international hatreds, and sheer cantankerousness
that finally pushed the world economy over the brink. Award-winning
writer Charles R. Morris anchors his narrative in America while
fully sketching the poisonous political atmosphere of postwar
Europe. 1920s America was the embodiment of the modern age-cars,
electricity, credit, radio, movies. Breakneck growth presaged a
serious recession by the decade's end, but not a depression. It
took heroic financial mismanagement, a glut-induced global collapse
in agricultural prices, and a self-inflicted crash in world trade
to produce the Great Depression. Vividly told and deeply
researched, A Rabble of Dead Money anatomizes history's greatest
economic catastrophe-and draws its lessons for the present.
