The Go-Go Years

The Go-Go Years "The Go-Go Years is not to be read in the usual manner of Wall Street classics. You do not read this book to see our present situation reenacted in the past, with only the names changed. You read it because it is a wonderful description of the way things were in a different time and place.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The 1960s was one of Wall Street's most speculative eras. These were the years of growth and performance - of gunslingers, the youth revolution, mutual funds, new-issue stocks, creative accounting, Chinese money, and the conglomerates.

In this tumultuous environment, the multitudes of small investors thrived and multiplied, only later to diminish in the devastating market crashes of the 1970s.

In his book, The Go-Go Years, Brooks chronicles this era while educating readers about the take-off growth sprees of Wall Street's 1960s and the crashes of the 1970s. He reminds today's investors that Wall Street has always been a source of hope, havoc, and hyperbole.
