The Stock Market Crash - And After was one of the first books to analyze the conditions that led to the stock market crash of 1929. Shortly before the crash, Irving Fisher (1867-1947) infamously claimed "stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." His wildly inaccurate forecasting combined with his own personal loss of millions of dollars in the crash led to his reputation being severely damaged. However, his image was restored over time, and today he is recognized as one of the most important American-born economists, who laid the foundation for modern financial economics. Item #IFI001
