Informationen zum Autor JOHN BROOKS was an award-winning New Yorker staff writer and author of several critically acclaimed explorations of business and Wall Street, including Once in Golconda (a Wiley Investment Classic), The Games Players , Business Adventures , and The Fate of the Edsel . Klappentext Die 60er Jahre waren die spekulativste Ära der Wall Street. Diese Jahre waren geprägt von Wachstum und Performance (Wertentwicklung). In diesem stürmischen Umfeld war die Schar der Kleinanleger sehr erfolgreich und ihre Zahl wuchs ständig; die verheerenden Crashs der 70er Jahre jedoch setzten dieser Entwicklung ein jähes Ende. Brooks hat eine Chronik dieser Ära verfaßt - eine abenteuerliche und humorvolle Geschichte mit einer Mischung aus solider Reportage nach Art der New York Times und dem lockeren Erzählstil des New Yorker. Hier lernt der Leser so nebenbei alles über die Boomjahre der 60er und die Kurseinbrüche der 70er, wobei er als Anleger daran erinnert wird, daß die Wall Street von jeher ein Quell von Hoffnung, Chaos und Übertreibung ist. (09/99) Zusammenfassung The Go-Go Years "The Go-Go Years is not to be read in the usual manner of Wall Street classics. You do not read this book to see our present situation reenacted in the past, with only the names changed. You read it because it is a wonderful description of the way things were in a different time and place.
