Here’s a little paragraph about the economy from perhaps the greatest history book ever, Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States, by Dave Barry:

THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THE CRASH
The stock market of the 1920s was very different from the stock market of today. Back then, the market was infested by greed-crazed slimeballs, get-rich-quick speculators with the ethical standards of tapeworms, who shrieked “buy” and “sell” orders into the telephone with no concern whatsoever for the nation’s long-term financial well-being. Whereas today they use computers.
