A study of the Crash of 1929; less higher-pitched (though just as anecdotal) as Galbraith's famous work. The book actually goes back to the end of World War I to set the table for the Crash; we don't actually get into the Crash until about half-way through. I'm not really sure how much new ground is broken in this book, other than the author summarizes (at the start) the fact that there's disagreement (including Galbraith). Good choice of illustrations.
