Love your videos. I was wondering if you know of any people that made a lot of money from the stock market collapse? There's always a few who benefit. A video on that would be great.
For those interested in the perspective of an immigrant during this time, I recommend Frederico Lorca's The Poet in New York. He witnessed the soon to come crash, while studying at Columbia.
There was... His name was Kennedy and he was from Massachusetts. Manipulating the market he made a fortune and had sons who were politicians even the president.
From what I understand, Ronald Reagan began the deregulation of financial services, continued by Bill Clinton who ultimately scrapped 'Glass-Steagall' - introduced in 1933 by Roosevelt. 2008 saw the biggest global banking crisis since 1929.
Yep all of them deregulated the bankers. It's terrible and the reason we are in the shape we are. Along with the war on drugs all these "leaders" really F'd up this country.
Much appreciated! Brings the period to life! The hysteria that infected ordinary people in NYC before the crash is mostly ignored!
Thank you for your wonderful channel. It is a historian's dream.
My grandpa was 12 years old that year.
My late grandma was 10
My great grandpas turned 11 and 14 that year, great grandmas turned 13 and 15.
My grandma was born that year, she's turns 94 in December but unfortunately cannot speak due to alzheimer's
Mine would have been 65, but he'd been dead for 12 years by '28.
My late father was two.
"9 out of 10 are gamblers; pure and simple wanting something for nothing". You could say the same to this day regarding day traders. Hasn't changed.
What a wonderful place of commerce!What could possibly go wrong!?
You couldn't find more pictures?
Thank you!

Good idea for a video
So this is what The Wolf of Wall Street would look like if it had taken place six decades prior!
There was... His name was Kennedy and he was from Massachusetts. Manipulating the market he made a fortune and had sons who were politicians even the president.
Not quite. Short sales were the undoing
When Franklin D took over, I think he had wall street regulated so nobody would lose their shirt.
From what I understand, Ronald Reagan began the deregulation of financial services, continued by Bill Clinton who ultimately scrapped 'Glass-Steagall' - introduced in 1933 by Roosevelt. 2008 saw the biggest global banking crisis since 1929.
Actually, FDR set up the security and exchanges commission and put Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in charge.
Yep all of them deregulated the bankers. It's terrible and the reason we are in the shape we are. Along with the war on drugs all these "leaders" really F'd up this country.
And he made Joe Kennedy the first head of the SEC. Classic fox guarding the hen house scenario.
Joe Kennedy was no saint, but the GOP has still never elected a president as great as FDR (other than Lincoln, and Abe wouldn’t recognize today’s GOP)
1928?
You ain't seen nothing yet!
How is a still photo a video? It's not, that's how.
Welcome to joey biden's dream
that makes no sense
