Are we on the brink of another catastrophic market crash? The whispers of a looming bubble are growing louder, and it’s not just the experts who are worried. From AI-driven investments to retail trading frenzies, the air is thick with speculative mania. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is history repeating itself, or are we in uncharted territory? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Andrew Ross Sorkin, the acclaimed editor of Dealbook, co-host of CNBC’s Squawk Box, and author of the gripping new book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation. Sorkin, whose previous bestseller Too Big to Fail dissected the 2008 financial crisis, dives deep into the archives to reveal how the American public was utterly captivated by the stock market just before the 1929 crash. Through his research, he uncovers striking parallels and surprising differences between then and now. But this is the part most people miss: the lessons from 1929 aren’t just about market mechanics—they’re about human behavior, greed, and the fragile line between optimism and delusion. As we navigate today’s volatile landscape, Sorkin’s insights challenge us to ask: Are we learning from history, or are we doomed to repeat it? And here’s a thought-provoking question for you: Do you think the current market euphoria is justified, or are we overlooking warning signs? Share your thoughts in the comments—let’s spark a conversation that could shape how we approach the future.
