Description:

As another financial turmoil makes headlines today, the year 1929 remains the benchmark for true financial mayhem. Lords of Finance lays the blame for the meltdown at the fallibility of a small number of central bankers, men as prominent in their time as Alan Greenspan is today. "From the Hardcover edition."
