Description:
"Golconda, now a ruin, was a city in southeastern India, where according to legend, everyone got rich." This parable has long been linked with the fate of Wall Street between World Wars I and II. Historical and engrossing, informative and relevant, Once in Golconda provides a fresh and fascinating account of the stock market boom of the twenties, the devastating crash of 1929, and the market's eventual resurgence. John Brooks follows the rise and fall of Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, as his creation and devastation of wealth ran parallel to the undulations of the stock market itself. Brooks chronicles this era in an adventurous, humorous book that reads like a novel.
