As I'm reading this book, I came upon this tidbit:
"Political activist Eugene S. Daniell Jr., who later served as a nine-term state representative in New Hampshire, set off two tear-gas bombs near the ventilation system of the New York Stock Exchange in August of 1933 to protest the imbalance of wealth between those on Wall Street and the rest of the country during the Depression. Daniell served thirty days in jail for the disruption."
Hmmmmmm..............
So 3 years after the stock market crash, it came back up. But people were still out of work and losing their homes. Banks were still closing while the stock market surged. Interesting parallel.
Four months before I was born.
Those who don’t study/know history, are doomed to repeat it. Too many Americans know only sports, entertainment...
