Financial Crisis 2008-09
1929 and 2009: Things that are different and the same
January 22, 2009
Hal Bierman Jr., Nicholas H. Noyes Professor of Business Administration and professor of finance, compared the financial crises of 1929 and 2009 in an address at the 2nd Annual Alumni Recognition and Celebration Dinner at the Grand Hyatt in New York City on Jan. 22, 2009. Bierman is uniquely qualified to address this topic: His areas of expertise include investment and corporate financial-policy decisions, and he has written two books about the stock market crash of 1929: The Great Myths of 1929 and the Lessons to be Learned (Greenwood, 1991), and The Causes of the 1929 Stock Market Crash: A Speculative Orgy or a New Era? (Greenwood Press, 1998).
