heinz,

regarding the causes of the '29 crash, you might enjoy "Freedom From Fear: Americans in Depression and War, 1929-1945"; it's an exceptionally well-written history. I'm having a hard time putting it down; fascinating stuff. The author differs significantly with JK Galbraith, author of the classic "The Crash of 1929" (as I remember the title to be...)

In Freedom, the author makes the case that the crash was an almost inevitable response to an "agricultural depression" that had been ongoing in the U.S. for about 10 years before the stock market crash.

Again, a great book, highly recommended for another in-depth take at the causes and aftermath of "the crash"...
