Title: Looking for Detail and Coming Up Short
Product review: This book is very similar to what is known as a 'review of the literature' found in academic journals. The Crash was first and foremost a financial event but Klein does not really address finance other than to survey what people thought. I get no feel for what may have caused the Crash nor do I walk away feeling educated about the period. It has all been done better before, namely Galbraith and F.L. Allen in their own way. Historians need to know more finance before tackling this topic which is why Klein does not succeed.
