  The Great 1929 Crash - The...

  In the autumn of 1929, the seemingly invincible American stock market collapsed in a matter of days, wiping out fortunes and shattering the nation's confidence. What followed was not just an economic downturn but a complete transformation of American capitalism, politics, and society. 
  The Great 1929 Crash reveals how genuine prosperity morphed into dangerous speculation. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this comprehensive history explores how millions of ordinary Americans were lured into the stock market by promises of easy wealth, how leverage and fraud inflated a bubble destined to burst, and how the warnings of skeptics were drowned out by the roar of the crowd. 
  Drawing on contemporary accounts, personal stories, and economic analysis, the book reconstructs the panic of Black Thursday and Black Tuesday, when the financial system came apart. It follows the contagion as bank failures spread across the nation, unemployment soared to 25 percent, and the Great Depression took hold. But it also examines the policy failures that transformed a crash into a decade-long catastrophe, and the landmark reforms—deposit insurance, securities regulation, and the New Deal—that emerged from the ruins. 
  More than a historical account, The Great 1929 Crash is a cautionary tale for our own time. It reveals timeless patterns of human behavior—greed, fear, herd mentality, and the dangerous belief that "this time is different"—that recur in every financial bubble. As contemporary markets reach dizzying heights and leverage proliferates, the lessons of 1929 have never been more relevant. 
  A gripping narrative of boom and bust that changed the course of the twentieth century—and offers essential warnings for the twenty-first.

  MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood concludes the trilogy, exploring a post-apocalyptic world where survivors, including Toby and Zeb, and the bioengineered Crakers, navigate a landscape shaped by a devastating plague. The story follows their efforts to establish a new society while grappling with the complex legacy of Crake, the creator of the Crakers. The novel examines the power of stories and how they shape beliefs, as both Toby and the Crakers use narratives to make sense of their world. The themes of creation, identity, and the human condition are central to the narrative. The characters struggle with their pasts and their relationships as they attempt to build a future in a world where both nature and technology are dangerous. The importance of preserving history and knowledge through writing is emphasized.

  The Uses of Delusion - Why It's...

  Stuart Vyse

  Although reason and rationality are our friends in almost all contexts, in some cases people are better off putting reason aside. In a number of very important situations, we benefit by not seeing the world as it is, and by not behaving like logic-driven machines. 
   
    
   
  The Uses of Delusion is about aspects of human nature that are not altogether rational but, nonetheless, help us achieve our social and personal goals. Psychologist Stuart Vyse presents a lively, accessible exploration of the psychological concepts behind "useful delusions," fleshing out how delusional thinking may play a role in love and relationships, illness and loss, and personality and behavior. Along the way Vyse draws on the work of William James, Daniel Kahneman, and Joan Didion—who wrote about her compelling belief that her husband, though deceased, would soon return to her. 
   
   
   
  Throughout, Vyse strives to answer the question: why would some of our most illogical beliefs be as helpful as they are? The concluding chapter offers an explanation grounded in natural selection—the ability to fool ourselves, Vyse argues, has actually helped us to survive. In the last section of The Uses of Delusion, Vyse offers suggestions for determining when reason should rule and when intuition and emotion should be allowed to take over.
