Wall Street and Lombard Street: The Stock Exchange Slump of 1929 and the Trade Depression of 1930

Wall Street and Lombard Street: The Stock Exchange Slump of 1929 and the Trade Depression of 1930 is a book written by Francis Wrigley Hirst. The book explores the economic crisis that occurred in the United States and Europe in the aftermath of the stock market crash of 1929. Hirst examines the causes of the crash, including the speculative bubble that had formed in the stock market, and the role played by Wall Street in the global financial system. He also looks at the impact of the crash on the wider economy, including the trade depression that followed and the measures taken by governments to try to mitigate its effects. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic conditions of the time, drawing on a wide range of sources including government reports, financial data, and contemporary newspaper articles. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Great Depression and the events that led up to it.Hirst Believes That The World Depression Was Precipitated By The Wall Street Break, And Presents A More Than Plausible Analysis To Support This Conclusion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
