Good, easy reading 
This is an excellent book. Easy to read, humourous, and while written in the 50's, it could have been written yesterday. 2008 crash very similiar to 1929...it will be interesting to see if 2009 continues downwards as the sharemarkets of 1930-31 did.

sobering
Witty and sobering reminder of the perils of speculative investment -- gambling in a casino where no one and nothing is in charge -- and the professional and amateur floundering that follows the bursting of a bubble
-
Beautifully written history of Great Crash told with wit.
Gailbraith's book is an insightful and witty history of the Great Crash of 1929. Though written years ago it seems as if it could have been written yestereday and there are many parallels of course with the economic "meltdown" that is going on around us. I can't really fault the book as it is about the Great Crash, but I wish there were more about the long depression that followed and the path to recovery.

Great Book
Very interesting book, and well written.
There are some sad truths reveled, herein.
Scary to understand the similarities between then and now (1999 to 2008).
