In 1929 and Beyond: Lessons from Andrew Ross Sorkin’s Masterpiece — The Crash That Changed Everything, Inside Wall Street’s Fall and the Birth of the Great Depression, author Tobias Nacht takes readers on a gripping journey through the most catastrophic financial collapse in modern history — and reveals why its lessons are more urgent today than ever.
Nearly a century ago, the crash of 1929 didn’t just destroy fortunes — it shattered faith in the very idea of progress. But what Andrew Ross Sorkin illuminated in his landmark work was not simply a story of numbers and markets; it was a story of people — their ambition, arrogance, and the blind belief that prosperity could defy gravity. Nacht expands that lens, exposing the eerie parallels between the past and our digital present, where markets move faster than morality and technology amplifies both brilliance and greed.
From the stock floor’s chaos to the quiet despair of Main Street, Nacht uncovers how 1929 became more than an event — it became a prophecy. He examines the rise of AI-driven trading, crypto speculation, and algorithmic markets as modern echoes of the same human hunger that once fueled the Roaring Twenties. And he asks the question no economist dares to answer: Can capitalism truly reform itself — or does it require collapse to remember its conscience?
Written with cinematic detail, historical precision, and haunting contemporary insight, 1929 and Beyond is not just a reflection on the past — it’s a roadmap for the future. It challenges readers, investors, and dreamers alike to rethink the cost of progress and the meaning of value.
If you believe history repeats itself, this book will change how you see every boom and every bust to come.
If you believe we can learn from it — this is where you start.
Buy your copy today and rediscover the crash that still shapes the world — one market, one algorithm, and one lesson at a time.
