Could It Happen Again? Lessons from 1929 with Andrew Ross Sorkin

Video Description

We all know the date. But what really happened in October-1929? I spoke with New York Times financial columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss his new book, 1929, which demystifies one of the most famous (and infamous) consequential chapters in American History. Through extensive research into letters and diaries of the era’s biggest players, Sorkin reconstructs the chaos and conviction of a world on the brink. How the bankers, politicians, and investors thought they were saving the system even as they helped its unraveling. It’s a conversation about how good intentions can spiral into catastrophe—and why the real lesson of 1929 is not to dance while the music plays, but to remember that, at some point, it always stops.
