The Go-Go Years: The Drama And Crashing Finale Of Wall Street's Bullish 60's (1999) - Plot & Excerpts
John Brooks was, quite simply, the best business writer this country has ever produced and I like "The Go-Go Years" even better than his most acclaimed book, "Once in Golconda". Telling the story of the boom and bust of Wall Street in the 1960's- a speculative cycle rarely talked about today- "The Go-Go Years" takes you back to a Wall Street that was shaking off the doldrums of the Eisenhower years and beginning to play with the fire of a speculative bull market. You'll meet an young Ross Perot dealing with the single largest one day paper loss in the history of the Stock Exchange, you'll learn about the real birth of Fidelity Mutual Funds and basically both laugh and cry as you realize that everyone forgot the lessons of this era. Multiple times.
