for 1. I don't know, honestly, never looked into that but it's an interesting angle I guess?

for 2. SORRY those are _my_ words, the finish of _my review_ of the book.

The 1929 Financial Thriller (Mises, JB)

Interesting epilogue.  Leaves me with a lot of questions.

1. Did the those traders end up destitute, in jail, or committing suicide because Sorkin cherry picked who to focus on for the epilogue?  Or was it more widespread?

    - If it was widespread, then I wonder if people back then at least felt that cosmic justice was served, unlike in 2008 when everyone got bailouts

2. I'm surprised Sorkin refers to the election of Roosevelt and Churchill as the "real, underappreciated tragedy coming out of 1929".  What's his angle there?  I thought most normies liked those two guys.
