A humorous and keen look at the roller-coaster boom and bust of the 1960s and 1970s by the New York Timesâbestselling author of Business Adventures John Brooks blends humor and astute analysis in this tale of the staggering âgo-goâ growth of the 1960s stock market and the ensuing crashes of the 1970s. Swiftly rising stocks promised fast money to investors, and voracious cupidity drove the market. But the bull market couldnât last forever, and the fall was just as staggering as the ascent. Including the astounding story of H. Ross Perotâs loss of $450 million in one day; the tale of Americaâs âLast Gatsby,â Eddie Gilbert; and the account of financier Saul Steinbergâs failed grab for Chemical Bank, this book is replete with hallmark financial acumen and vivid storytelling. A classic of business history, The Go-Go Years provides John Brooksâs signature insight into the events of yesteryear and stands the test of time. |
