Title: An empiricist history
Review: This book is about the ten best stock market years of the 20th century. I didn't expect any miraculous set of pointers on identifying a great stock market year. However, one expects a historian to do more merely than report discrete facts. One would expect a set of common threads running through the descriptions of these ten years, explaining their similarities and differences. Instead, what one sees is like brief snippets of market-related events in each of the years (and some unrelated events too), with no coherent narrative.I admit I couldn't bring myself to read it all. I stopped and skipped to the last Epilogue that tries to sum things up (too late). That was brief and unsatisfactory.Not a book I'd recommend to any audience for any purpose.
Is the review positive or negative?
