1929 / 《1929》 (Andrew Ross Sorkin)

[[NineteenTwentyNineSorkin|《1929》]] is Andrew Ross Sorkin’s book on the 1929 crash and early Depression period as read in 170.《1929》的泡沫之夏:三个代表人物,和他们在当下周期的影子. The episode says the book proceeds chronologically from 1929 into 1933 and draws heavily on telegrams, letters, newspapers, and archival material.

The episode does not use the book as a full macroeconomic explanation of the Great Depression. It treats the book as a behavioral-finance object: market euphoria, margin lending, ordinary-investor participation, institutional rescue theater, and the social shock of trusted figures failing become more important than choosing one school of Depression causation.

Its central value for the wiki is the three-person map. Richard Whitney / 理查德·惠特尼 supplies the gatekeeper credibility story, William Durant / 威廉·杜兰特 supplies the entrepreneur-speculator story, and Charles E. Mitchell / 查理·米切尔 supplies the financial-institution distribution story. Together they feed Bubble Role Analogy / 泡沫角色类比, Speculative Bubble Psychology, and Financial Institution Trust Transmission / 金融机构信任传导.
