Andrew Ross Sorkin Big Technology Podcast · Mar 2026 Um so the book is 1929. Y uh 20 weeks on the bestseller list. Congratulations. Thank you. The thing that's kind of scary is I think part of the reason why it's I mean it's about something that happened about a hundred years ago.
In the book you highlight that actually in the 20s in the era of speculation they talked about it as democratizing finance which is a tagline that's come back.

Why people recommend it
1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin is a historical nonfiction book examining the devastating stock market crash that occurred on Wall Street and the profound ways it shattered the nation. The book earned high praise and commercial success, spending numerous weeks on bestseller lists. On The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday called the book an absolute must-read, while Jon Lovett strongly recommended it to listeners on Pod Save America, emphasizing its fascinating nature and strong relevance to modern economic moments. During an appearance on the Big Technology Podcast, Sorkin discussed with Alex Kantrowitz the multi-year process of writing the volume without the aid of artificial intelligence. Sorkin noted that he had originally begun working on the project around the time of the 2021 GameStop trading frenzy, leading his publisher to wonder if it could be released immediately. Kantrowitz and Sorkin also explored historical parallels between 1920s financial speculation and modern market trends, specifically noting how the rhetoric of democratizing finance has resurfaced across generations. Furthermore, prominent financial leaders like Jamie Dimon mentioned reading and appreciating the book after receiving an advanced copy from the author.
