    <body><![CDATA[This book is a reprint from 1931. It is an interesting tale of the 1920s. The final chapters cover, what else, the stock market crash!<br/>The writing is a little dated, but the book is breezy and an informative read. Amazing how the 1920s resemble the '90s and '00s.....scary.]]></body>
