Product Description Ursachen, Verlauf, Folgen. Mit e. neuen Vorw. v. Bestsellerautor Max Otte Erscheinungsjahr: 2008 4., überarb. Aufl. Gewicht: 505 gr / Abmessung: 23,5 cm Von Galbraith, John K. 24. Oktober 1929: Jeder kennt dieses Datum, jeder kennt die Mär vom "Schwarzen Freitag". Doch was damals genau geschehen ist und wie es zu diesem bisher einzigartigen Börsencrash kam, ist den wenigsten bekannt. In diesem Klassiker der Börsenliteratur erfährt man in allen Einzelheiten Vorgeschichte und Nachwirkungen und lernt, Parallelen zu ziehen. Denn das, was damals geschah, kann sich jederzeit wiederholen. In diesem außergewöhnlichen Werk vergleicht der Autor die zwei große Börsencrashs von 1929 und 1987, zeigt Parallelen und Konsequenzen sowie deren Nachwirkungen auf die Gegenwart auf und sensibilisiert den Leser, damit dieser gegebenenfalls rechzeitig aussteigt und sein Depot vor den gewaltigen Verlusten schützt. Darüber hinaus analysiert der Autor die Schwächen des jetzigen Systems der Finanzwelt und deren Gefahren auch künftig nicht für einem neuen, großen Börsencrash gerüstet zu sein.

They say if you remember the '60s, you weren't there. But, fortunately, Tom Wolfe was there, notebook in hand, politely declining LSD while Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters fomented revolution, turning America on to a dangerously playful way of thinking as their Day-Glo conveyance, Further, made the most influential bus ride since Rosa Parks's. By taking On the Road's hero Neal Cassady as his driver on the cross-country revival tour and drawing on his own training as a magician, Kesey made Further into a bully pulpit, and linked the beat epoch with hippiedom. Paul McCartney's Many Years from Now cites Kesey as a key influence on his trippy Magical Mystery Tour film. Kesey temporarily renounced his literary magic for the cause of "tootling the multitudes"-making a spectacle of himself-and Prankster Robert Stone had to flee Kesey's wild party to get his life's work done. But in those years, Kesey's life was his work, and Wolfe infinitely multiplied the multitudes who got tootled by writing this major literary-journalistic monument to a resonant pop-culture moment. Kesey's theatrical metamorphosis from the distinguished author of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest to the abominable shaman of the "Acid Test" soirees that launched The Grateful Dead required Wolfe's Day-Glo prose account to endure (though Kesey's own musings in Demon Box are no slouch either). Even now, Wolfe's book gives what Wolfe clearly got from Kesey: a contact high. -Tim Appelo, Amazon.com They say if you remember the '60s, you weren't there.
