The work primarily focuses on the build up of the stock market crash. Woolf provides details of these causes in one-two pages of content. As the book goes chronologically through the events of the stock market crash to the coming Great Depression, Woolf ties the time period of the late 1920’s and early 1930’s to the period of the early 2000’s which involved the internet “bubble”. This correlation between the tow time periods is clearly explained with simple language and makes the content more comprehensible to younger readers. Educators can use this book as a medium that connects the Great Depression to the Great Recession of 2007 and would make of good fit for social studies and more specifically economic courses. ( )
