1. I think he's all wet

So many books have been written about 1929, prominent ones. The Great Crash - John Kenneth Galbraith. The Day the Bubble Burst - Gordon Thomas. Among dozens of others. To think this book adds something - no. It's a rehash for modern generations. He worries about "the politics" as consequences to the players of 1929? No. Politics was an inside game, the public was blithely unaware of politics. Sorry, IMHO, empty talking head for the masses.
