The Go-Go Years: The Drama and Crashing Finale of Wall

The Go-Go Years: The Drama and Crashing Finale of Wall Street's Bullish 60s

A humorous and keen look at the roller-coaster boom and bust of the 1960s and 1970s by theÂ New York Timesâ€“bestselling author ofÂ Business Adventures

John Brooks blends humor and astute analysis in this tale of the staggering â€œgo-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 couldnâ€™t last forever, and the fall was just as staggering as the ascent.

Including the astounding story of H. Ross Perotâ€™s loss of $450 million in one day; the tale of Americaâ€™s â€œLast Gatsby,â€ Eddie Gilbert; and the account of financier Saul Steinbergâ€™s failed grab for Chemical Bank, this book is replete with hallmark financial acumen and vivid storytelling. A classic of business history,Â The Go-Go YearsÂ provides John Brooksâ€™s signature insight into the events of yesteryear and stands the test of time.
