Description: This book explores the period from World War I through the 1920s in order to answer the question: did a financial "bubble" form, and if so, could it have been anticipated? Using new data and over 100 years of stock market returns, real-life models used by investors and modern research, the author investigates what drove stocks up and then caused them to crash.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-228) and index.
