1920s accounting of before and after crash

[moore_capital54]

Greetings old friends,

 

Years ago, I remember reading about a book (I believe it was an online pdf version) that was a remarkable accounting of the years leading up to the 1929 crash. The name escapes me and I have been unable to unearth via search or memory. I think it may have been ericopoly or another member that brought it up.

 

This would be much appreciated for a project I am working on internally.

 

Best,

 

Moore

Nope but I did end up finding it! https://www.amazon.com/Only-Yesterday-Informal-History-1920s/dp/0060956658/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465668361&sr=8-2&keywords=since+yesterday

 

Only Yesterday and Since Yesterday. I recall reading these online and they were great accounts of the period from non-financial perspective.

 

Thank You for trying to assist.

Barry Wigmore's book about the crash, The Crash and it's Aftermath: A History of Securities Markets in the United States 1929-1933may be what you are looking for. It covers a lot of what was going on in sectors that aren't usually covered in histories of the Great Depression, such as the Municipal Bond market. I believe it also discusses the accounting implications. Incredibly well-researched, but not easy to read. Looks crazy expensive on Amazon.

Moore,

 

Another source which briefly outlines the history before and after the 1929 Crash is Anatomy of the Bear by Russell Napier.  It may help with what you are looking for.
