Panic On Wall Street Book

A very well written book that stays on topic. This is an older book; published in 1968. I chose this book because many more recent books were obviously written from a certain perspective, with the intent to prove a point. I didn't want to read a book that supports a certain perspective (even my own perspective). To read a book unaware of current history turned out to be a good choice for me.
One thing I didn't expect, but came to understand through reading the book, was that fact that almost nothing is said about the great depression. Keeping on topic, the author's main discussion was about the panic of 1929 and not the depression that followed a couple years later. The book speaks rather narrowly about the relation (or lack thereof) between the panic and the depression and doesn't go much beyond this. All in all, it is a very good book.
