Galbraith’s classic post-mortem of the 1929 crash is still one of the sharpest autopsies on collective delusion. With wit sharper than a broker’s cufflinks, he dissects how optimism curdled into catastrophe. Nearly a century later, his insight hits like a cymbal crash: we keep rehearsing the same song — boom, bust, repeat.
