Guus Bosman

Sasha gave me this book when she came back the first time from the World Bank. It describes the circumstances and events that led to the crash of the stock market in October 1929, and the huge decline in the years that followed.

It's really interesting to read how ordinary people were involved in something (we know now) so historical and big. The books is not written from an economists' point of view, but more like an historicus. I had never really read about 1929 before, and this book is a good introduction, I liked it a lot.
