Once in Golconda: A True Drama of Wall Street 1920-1938Once in Golconda "In this book, John Brooks who was one of the most elegant of all business writers perfectly catches the flavor of one of history's best known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks.

Once in Golconda "In this book, John Brooks-who was one of the most elegant of all business writers-perfectly catches the flavor of one of history's best-known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks. It's packed with parallels and parables for the modern reader." -From the Foreword by Richard Lambert Editor-in-Chief, The Financial Times Once in Golconda is a dramatic chronicle of the breathtaking rise, devastating fall, and painstaking rebirth of Wall Street in the years between the wars. Focusing on the lives and fortunes of some of the era's most memorable traders, bankers, boosters, and frauds, John Brooks brings to vivid life all the ruthlessness, greed, and reckless euphoria of the '20s bull market, the desperation of the days leading up to the crash of '29, and the bitterness of the years that followed. Praise for Once in Golconda "A fast-moving, sophisticated account.embracing the stock-market boom of the twenties, the crash of 1929, the Depression, and the coming of the New Deal. Its leitmotif is the truly tragic personal history of Richard Whitney, the aristocrat Morgan broker and head of the Stock Exchange, who ended up in Sing Sing." -Edmund Wilson, writing in the New Yorker "As Mr. Brooks tells this tale of dishonor, desperation, and the fall of the mighty, it takes on overtones of Greek tragedy, a king brought down by pride. Whitney's sordid history has been told before..But in Mr. Brooks's hands, the drama becomes freshly shocking." -Wall Street Journal "It's all there in Once in Golconda-the avarice of an era that favored the rich; and the later anguish of myriads of speculators doomed by a bloated market, easy credit, and their own cupidity and stupidity." -Saturday ReviewBinding Type: Hardcover

Bonita pero pueden mejorar ciertas cosas
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Silver
La compré hace dos meses y la e usado muy pocas veces de lo que me gustaría el color es bonito el diseño es precioso, la cadena se siente de buena calidad pero a pesar de que tiene poco que la tengo y que casi no la uso ya se empezó a despegar la “costura” (no sé el nombre correcto) de donde se dobla para cerrársela!

Great option for a great price
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
I love these sandals. They are well made, true to size and soft suede. They are lightweight and feel just like my UGG goldenstar sandals. (These are not as adjustable, so if you have narrow or wide feet, these may not be for you) These a great value for the money, especially for medium width feet. The strap across the toe is not adjustable, but fit my feet just fine. The ankle strap was a good length for me. And the Velcro is strong. These sandals are a great value for the money. I will probably start looking into kookaburra before I rush to buy the more expensive ones now.

Quality, good looking shoes!
Size: 8.5, Color: Green
Absolutely perfect fit, design, and color. I'm so pleased with these sandals and as always with this brand, I am not in anyway disappointed. These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box. They clean up very nicely, and last forever. I am so glad I got these before they were sold out.
